17. Kodhavaggo

221.

Kodhaṃ jahe vippajaheyya mānaṃ, saṃyojanaṃ sabbamatikkameyya;

Taṃ nāmarūpasmimasajjamānaṃ, akiñcanaṃ nānupatanti dukkhā.

222.

Yo ve uppatitaṃ kodhaṃ, rathaṃ bhantaṃva vāraye ²;

Tamahaṃ sārathiṃ brūmi, rasmiggāho itaro jano.

223.

Akkodhena jine kodhaṃ, asādhuṃ sādhunā jine;

Jine kadariyaṃ dānena, saccenālikavādinaṃ.

224.

Saccaṃ bhaṇe na kujjheyya, dajjā appampi ⁴ yācito;

Etehi tīhi ṭhānehi, gacche devāna santike.

225.

Ahiṃsakā ye munayo ⁶, niccaṃ kāyena saṃvutā;

Te yanti accutaṃ ṭhānaṃ, yattha gantvā na socare.

226.

Sadā jāgaramānānaṃ, ahorattānusikkhinaṃ;

Nibbānaṃ adhimuttānaṃ, atthaṃ gacchanti āsavā.

227.

Porāṇametaṃ atula, netaṃ ajjatanāmiva;

Nindanti tuṇhimāsīnaṃ, nindanti bahubhāṇinaṃ;

Mitabhāṇimpi nindanti, natthi loke anindito.

228.

Na cāhu na ca bhavissati, na cetarahi vijjati;

Ekantaṃ nindito poso, ekantaṃ vā pasaṃsito.

229.

Yaṃ ce viññū pasaṃsanti, anuvicca suve suve;

Acchiddavuttiṃ ⁸ medhāviṃ, paññāsīlasamāhitaṃ.

230.

Nikkhaṃ ¹⁰ jambonadasseva, ko taṃ ninditumarahati;

Devāpi naṃ pasaṃsanti, brahmunāpi pasaṃsito.

231.

Kāyappakopaṃ rakkheyya, kāyena saṃvuto siyā;

Kāyaduccaritaṃ hitvā, kāyena sucaritaṃ care.

232.

Vacīpakopaṃ rakkheyya, vācāya saṃvuto siyā;

Vacīduccaritaṃ hitvā, vācāya sucaritaṃ care.

233.

Manopakopaṃ rakkheyya, manasā saṃvuto siyā;

Manoduccaritaṃ hitvā, manasā sucaritaṃ care.

234.

Kāyena saṃvutā dhīrā, atho vācāya saṃvutā;

Manasā saṃvutā dhīrā, te ve suparisaṃvutā.

Kodhavaggo sattarasamo niṭṭhito.
