4. Cūḷabodhicariyā

26.

‘‘Punāparaṃ yadā homi, cūḷabodhi susīlavā;

Bhavaṃ disvāna bhayato, nekkhammaṃ abhinikkhamiṃ.

27.

‘‘Yā me dutiyikā āsi, brāhmaṇī kanakasannibhā;

Sāpi vaṭṭe anapekkhā, nekkhammaṃ abhinikkhami.

28.

‘‘Nirālayā chinnabandhū, anapekkhā kule gaṇe;

Carantā gāmanigamaṃ, bārāṇasimupāgamuṃ.

29.

‘‘Tattha vasāma nipakā, asaṃsaṭṭhā kule gaṇe;

Nirākule appasadde, rājuyyāne vasāmubho.

30.

‘‘Uyyānadassanaṃ gantvā, rājā addasa brāhmaṇiṃ;

Upagamma mamaṃ pucchi, ‘tuyhesā kā kassa bhariyā’.

31.

‘‘Evaṃ vutte ahaṃ tassa, idaṃ vacanamabraviṃ;

‘Na mayhaṃ bhariyā esā, sahadhammā ekasāsanī’.

32.

‘‘Tissā ² sārattagadhito, gāhāpetvāna ceṭake;

Nippīḷayanto balasā, antepuraṃ pavesayi.

33.

‘‘Odapattakiyā mayhaṃ, sahajā ekasāsanī;

Ākaḍḍhitvā nayantiyā, kopo me upapajjatha.

34.

‘‘Saha kope samuppanne, sīlabbatamanussariṃ;

Tattheva kopaṃ niggaṇhiṃ, nādāsiṃ vaḍḍhitūpari.

35.

‘‘Yadi naṃ brāhmaṇiṃ koci, koṭṭeyya tiṇhasattiyā;

Neva sīlaṃ pabhindeyyaṃ, bodhiyāyeva kāraṇā.

36.

‘‘Na mesā brāhmaṇī dessā, napi me balaṃ na vijjati;

Sabbaññutaṃ piyaṃ mayhaṃ, tasmā sīlānurakkhisa’’nti.

Cūḷabodhicariyaṃ catutthaṃ.
