8. Aggikasuttaṃ

194. Ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. Tena kho pana samayena aggikabhāradvājassa brāhmaṇassa sappinā pāyaso sannihito hoti – ‘‘aggiṃ juhissāmi, aggihuttaṃ paricarissāmī’’ti.

Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya rājagahaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. Rājagahe sapadānaṃ piṇḍāya caramāno yena aggikabhāradvājassa brāhmaṇassa nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami ; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Addasā kho aggikabhāradvājo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ piṇḍāya ṭhitaṃ. Disvāna bhagavantaṃ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi –

‘‘Tīhi vijjāhi sampanno, jātimā sutavā bahū;

Vijjācaraṇasampanno, somaṃ bhuñjeyya pāyasa’’nti.

‘‘Bahumpi palapaṃ jappaṃ, na jaccā hoti brāhmaṇo;

Antokasambu saṃkiliṭṭho, kuhanāparivārito.

‘‘Pubbenivāsaṃ yo vedī, saggāpāyañca passati;

Atho jātikkhayaṃ patto, abhiññāvosito muni.

‘‘Etāhi tīhi vijjāhi, tevijjo hoti brāhmaṇo;

Vijjācaraṇasampanno, somaṃ bhuñjeyya pāyasa’’nti.

‘‘Bhuñjatu bhavaṃ gotamo. Brāhmaṇo bhava’’nti.

‘‘Gāthābhigītaṃ me abhojaneyyaṃ,

Sampassataṃ brāhmaṇa nesa dhammo;

Gāthābhigītaṃ panudanti buddhā,

Dhamme sati brāhmaṇa vuttiresā.

‘‘Aññena ca kevalinaṃ mahesiṃ,

Khīṇāsavaṃ kukkuccavūpasantaṃ;

Annena pānena upaṭṭhahassu,

Khettañhi taṃ puññapekkhassa hotī’’ti.

Evaṃ vutte, aggikabhāradvājo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca – ‘‘abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama…pe… aññataro ca panāyasmā aggikabhāradvājo arahataṃ ahosī’’ti.
