19. Dhammaṭṭhavaggo

256.

Na tena hoti dhammaṭṭho, yenatthaṃ sāhasā ² naye;

Yo ca atthaṃ anatthañca, ubho niccheyya paṇḍito.

257.

Asāhasena dhammena, samena nayatī pare;

Dhammassa gutto medhāvī, ‘‘dhammaṭṭho’’ti pavuccati.

258.

Na tena paṇḍito hoti, yāvatā bahu bhāsati;

Khemī averī abhayo, ‘‘paṇḍito’’ti pavuccati.

259.

Na tāvatā dhammadharo, yāvatā bahu bhāsati;

Yo ca appampi sutvāna, dhammaṃ kāyena passati;

Sa ve dhammadharo hoti, yo dhammaṃ nappamajjati.

260.

Na tena thero so hoti ⁴, yenassa palitaṃ siro;

Paripakko vayo tassa, ‘‘moghajiṇṇo’’ti vuccati.

261.

Yamhi saccañca dhammo ca, ahiṃsā saṃyamo damo;

Sa ve vantamalo dhīro, ‘‘thero’’ iti ⁶ pavuccati.

262.

Na vākkaraṇamattena, vaṇṇapokkharatāya vā;

Sādhurūpo naro hoti, issukī maccharī saṭho.

263.

Yassa cetaṃ samucchinnaṃ, mūlaghaccaṃ samūhataṃ;

Sa vantadoso medhāvī, ‘‘sādhurūpo’’ti vuccati.

264.

Na muṇḍakena samaṇo, abbato alikaṃ bhaṇaṃ;

Icchālobhasamāpanno, samaṇo kiṃ bhavissati.

265.

Yo ca sameti pāpāni, aṇuṃ thūlāni sabbaso;

Samitattā hi pāpānaṃ, ‘‘samaṇo’’ti pavuccati.

266.

Na tena bhikkhu so hoti, yāvatā bhikkhate pare;

Vissaṃ dhammaṃ samādāya, bhikkhu hoti na tāvatā.

267.

Yodha puññañca pāpañca, bāhetvā brahmacariyavā ⁸;

Saṅkhāya loke carati, sa ve ‘‘bhikkhū’’ti vuccati.

268.

Na monena munī hoti, mūḷharūpo aviddasu;

Yo ca tulaṃva paggayha, varamādāya paṇḍito.

269.

Pāpāni parivajjeti, sa munī tena so muni;

Yo munāti ubho loke, ‘‘muni’’ tena pavuccati.

270.

Na tena ariyo hoti, yena pāṇāni hiṃsati;

Ahiṃsā sabbapāṇānaṃ, ‘‘ariyo’’ti pavuccati.

271.

Na sīlabbatamattena, bāhusaccena vā pana;

Atha vā samādhilābhena, vivittasayanena vā.

272.

Phusāmi nekkhammasukhaṃ, aputhujjanasevitaṃ;

Bhikkhu vissāsamāpādi, appatto āsavakkhayaṃ.

Dhammaṭṭhavaggo ekūnavīsatimo niṭṭhito.
