7. Candakumāracariyā

45.

‘‘Punāparaṃ yadā homi, ekarājassa atrajo;

Nagare pupphavatiyā, kumāro candasavhayo.

46.

‘‘Tadāhaṃ yajanā mutto, nikkhanto yaññavāṭato;

Saṃvegaṃ janayitvāna, mahādānaṃ pavattayiṃ.

47.

‘‘Nāhaṃ pivāmi khādāmi, napi bhuñjāmi bhojanaṃ;

Dakkhiṇeyye adatvāna, api chappañcarattiyo.

48.

‘‘Yathāpi vāṇijo nāma, katvāna bhaṇḍasañcayaṃ;

Yattha lābho mahā hoti, tattha taṃ ² harati bhaṇḍakaṃ.

49.

‘‘Tatheva sakabhuttāpi, pare dinnaṃ mahapphalaṃ;

Tasmā parassa dātabbaṃ, satabhāgo bhavissati.

50.

‘‘Etamatthavasaṃ ñatvā, demi dānaṃ bhavābhave;

Na paṭikkamāmi dānato, sambodhimanupattiyā’’ti.

Candakumāracariyaṃ sattamaṃ.
