Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa

Khuddakanikāye

Suttanipāta-aṭṭhakathā

(Paṭhamo bhāgo)

Ganthārambhakathā

Uttamaṃ vandaneyyānaṃ, vanditvā ratanattayaṃ;

Yo khuddakanikāyamhi, khuddācārappahāyinā.

Desito lokanāthena, lokanissaraṇesinā;

Tassa suttanipātassa, karissāmatthavaṇṇanaṃ.

Ayaṃ suttanipāto ca, khuddakesveva ogadho;

Yasmā tasmā imassāpi, karissāmatthavaṇṇanaṃ.

Gāthāsatasamākiṇṇo, geyyabyākaraṇaṅkito;

Kasmā suttanipātoti, saṅkhamesa gatoti ce.

Suvuttato savanato, atthānaṃ suṭṭhu tāṇato;

Sūcanā sūdanā ceva, yasmā suttaṃ pavuccati.

Tathārūpāni suttāni, nipātetvā tato tato;

Samūhato ayaṃ tasmā, saṅkhamevamupāgato.

Sabbāni cāpi suttāni, pamāṇantena tādino;

Vacanāni ayaṃ tesaṃ, nipāto ca yato tato.

Aññasaṅkhānimittānaṃ, visesānamabhāvato;

Saṅkhaṃ suttanipātoti, evameva samajjhagāti.
