‘‘Punāparaṃ yadā homi, mahāpakkho mahiddhiko;

Dhammo nāma mahāyakkho, sabbalokānukampako.

67.

‘‘Dasakusalakammapathe , samādapento mahājanaṃ;

Carāmi gāmanigamaṃ, samitto saparijjano.

68.

‘‘Pāpo kadariyo yakkho, dīpento dasa pāpake;

Sopettha mahiyā carati, samitto saparijjano.

69.

‘‘Dhammavādī adhammo ca, ubho paccanikā mayaṃ;

Dhure dhuraṃ ghaṭṭayantā, samimhā paṭipathe ubho.

70.

‘‘Kalaho vattatī bhesmā, kalyāṇapāpakassa ca;

Maggā okkamanatthāya, mahāyuddho upaṭṭhito.

71.

‘‘Yadihaṃ tassa kuppeyyaṃ, yadi bhinde tapoguṇaṃ;

Sahaparijanaṃ tassa, rajabhūtaṃ kareyyahaṃ.

72.

‘‘Apicāhaṃ sīlarakkhāya, nibbāpetvāna mānasaṃ;

Saha janenokkamitvā, pathaṃ pāpassa dāsahaṃ.

73.

‘‘Saha pathato okkante, katvā cittassa nibbutiṃ;

Vivaraṃ adāsi pathavī, pāpayakkhassa tāvade’’ti.

Dhammadevaputtacariyaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ.
