‘‘Santi rukkhā haripattā, dumā nekaphalā bahū;

Kasmā nu sukkhe koḷāpe, suvassa nirato mano.

31.

‘‘Phalassa upabhuñjimhā, nekavassagaṇe bahū;

Aphalampi viditvāna, sāva metti yathā pure.

32.

‘‘Sukkhañca rukkhaṃ koḷāpaṃ, opattamaphalaṃ dumaṃ;

Ohāya sakuṇā yanti, kiṃ dosaṃ passase dija.

33.

‘‘Ye phalatthā sambhajanti, aphaloti jahanti naṃ;

Attatthapaññā dummedhā, te honti pakkhapātino.

34.

‘‘Sādhu sakkhi kataṃ hoti, metti saṃsati santhavo;

Sacetaṃ dhammaṃ rocesi, pāsaṃsosi vijānataṃ.

35.

‘‘So te suva varaṃ dammi, pattayāna vihaṅgama;

Varaṃ varassu vakkaṅga, yaṃ kiñci manasicchasi.

36.

‘‘Api nāma naṃ passeyyaṃ, sapattaṃ saphalaṃ dumaṃ;

Daliddova nidhiṃ laddhā, nandeyyāhaṃ punappunaṃ.

37.

‘‘Tato amatamādāya, abhisiñci mahīruhaṃ;

Tassa sākhā virūhiṃsu, sītacchāyā manoramā.

38.

‘‘Evaṃ sakka sukhī hohi, saha sabbehi ñātibhi;

Yathāhamajja sukhito, disvāna saphalaṃ dumaṃ.

39.

‘‘Suvassa ca varaṃ datvā, katvāna saphalaṃ dumaṃ;

Pakkāmi saha bhariyāya, devānaṃ nandanaṃ vana’’nti. –

Pañhapaṭipañhāpi atthopi purimanayeneva veditabbā, anuttānapadameva pana vaṇṇayissāma.

Haripattāti nīlapattasacchannā. Koḷāpeti vāte paharante ākoṭitasaddaṃ viya muñcamāne nissāre. Suvassāti āyasmato suvarājassa kasmā evarūpe rukkhe mano nirato. Phalassāti phalaṃ assa rukkhassa. Nekavassagaṇeti anekavassagaṇe. Bahūti samānepi anekasate na dve tayo, atha kho bahūva. Viditvānāti haṃsarāja idāni amhākaṃ imaṃ rukkhaṃ aphalaṃ viditvāpi yathā pure etena saddhiṃ metti, sāva metti, tañhi mayaṃ na bhindāma, mettiṃ bhindantā hi anariyā asappurisā nāma hontīti pakāsento evamāha.

Opattanti avapattaṃ nippattaṃ patitapattaṃ. Kiṃ dosaṃ passaseti aññe sakuṇā etaṃ ohāya aññattha gacchanti, tvaṃ evaṃ gamane kiṃ nāma dosaṃ passasi. Ye phalatthāti ye pakkhino phalatthāya phalakāraṇā sambhajanti upagacchanti, aphaloti ñatvā etaṃ jahanti.
