Ahobuddhā aho dhammāti āyasmato kumārakassapattherassa gāthā. Kā uppatti? Ayampi purimabuddhesu katādhikāro tattha tattha bhave puññāni upacinanto padumuttarassa bhagavato kāle brāhmaṇakule nibbattitvā viññutaṃ pāpuṇi. ‘‘Kulagehe’’ti pana aṅguttaraṭṭhakathāyaṃ (a. ni. aṭṭha. 1.1.217) vuttaṃ. So satthu santikaṃ gantvā dhammaṃ suṇanto satthāraṃ ekaṃ bhikkhuṃ cittakathikānaṃ aggaṭṭhāne ṭhapentaṃ disvā sayampi taṃ ṭhānantaraṃ ākaṅkhanto paṇidhānaṃ katvā tadanurūpāni puññāni karonto kassapassa bhagavato kāle samaṇadhammaṃ katvā sugatīsuyeva saṃsaranto imasmiṃ buddhuppāde rājagahe seṭṭhidhītāya kucchimhi paṭisandhiṃ gaṇhi. Sā kira kumārikākāleyeva pabbajitukāmā hutvā mātāpitaro yācitvā pabbajjaṃ alabhamānā kulagharaṃ gatāpi gabbhasaṇṭhitampi ajānantī sāmikaṃ ārādhetvā tena anuññātā bhikkhunīsu pabbajitā. Tassā gabbhinibhāvaṃ disvā bhikkhuniyo devadattaṃ pucchiṃsu. So ‘‘assamaṇī’’ti āha. Puna dasabalaṃ pucchiṃsu. Satthā upālittheraṃ paṭicchāpesi. Thero sāvatthinagaravāsīni kulāni visākhañca upāsikaṃ pakkosāpetvā sarājikāya parisāya vinicchinanto ‘‘pure laddho gabbho, pabbajjā arogā’’ti āha. Satthā ‘‘suvinicchitaṃ adhikaraṇa’’nti therassa sādhukāraṃ adāsi.

Evaṃ gahitanāmattā rañño posāvanikaputtattā ca vuḍḍhakālepi kumārakassapotveva paññāyittha.

Atha tena saddhiṃ pabbatamatthake samaṇadhammaṃ katvā anāgāmī hutvā suddhāvāse nibbatto mahābrahmā ‘‘vipassanāya mukhaṃ dassetvā maggaphalappattiyā upāyaṃ karissāmī’’ti pañcadasa pañhe abhisaṅkharitvā andhavane vasantassa therassa ‘‘ime pañhe satthāraṃ puccheyyāsī’’ti ācikkhitvā gato. So te pañhe bhagavantaṃ pucchi. Bhagavāpissa byākāsi. Thero satthārā kathitaniyāmeneva te uggaṇhitvā vipassanaṃ gabbhaṃ gaṇhāpetvā arahattaṃ pāpuṇi. Tena vuttaṃ apadāne (apa. thera 2.54.150-177) –

‘‘Ito satasahassamhi, kappe uppajji nāyako;

Sabbalokahito vīro, padumuttaranāmako.

‘‘Tadāhaṃ brāhmaṇo hutvā, vissuto vedapāragū;

‘‘Satasahassito kappe, okkākakulasambhavo;

‘‘Tassa dhammesu dāyādo, oraso dhammanimmito;

‘‘Vicittapupphadussānaṃ, ratanānañca vāhasā;

‘‘Paribbhamaṃ bhavābhave, raṅgamajjhe yathā naṭo;

Sākhamigatrajo hutvā, migiyā kucchimokkamiṃ.

‘‘Tadā mayi kucchigate, vajjhavāro upaṭṭhito;

Sākhena cattā me mātā, nigrodhaṃ saraṇaṃ gatā.

‘‘Tena sā migarājena, maraṇā parimocitā;

Pariccajitvā sapāṇaṃ, mamevaṃ ovadī tadā.

‘‘Nigrodhameva seveyya, na sākhamupasaṃvase;

Nigrodhasmiṃ mataṃ seyyo, yañce sākhamhi jīvitaṃ.

‘‘Tenānusiṭṭhā migayūthapena, ahañca mātā ca tathetare ca;

Āgamma rammaṃ tusitādhivāsaṃ, gatā pavāsaṃ sagharaṃ yatheva.

‘‘Puno kassapavīrassa, atthamentamhi sāsane;

Āruyha selasikharaṃ, yuñjitvā jinasāsanaṃ.

‘‘Idānāhaṃ rājagahe, jāto seṭṭhikule ahuṃ;

Āpannasattā me mātā, pabbaji anagāriyaṃ.

‘‘Sagabbhaṃ taṃ viditvāna, devadattamupānayuṃ;

So avoca vināsetha, pāpikaṃ bhikkhuniṃ imaṃ.

‘‘Idānipi munindena, jinena anukampitā;

Sukhinī ajanī mayhaṃ, mātā bhikkhunupassaye.

‘‘Taṃ viditvā mahīpālo, kosalo maṃ aposayi;

Kumāraparihānena, nāmenāhañca kassapo.

‘‘Mahākassapamāgamma, ahaṃ kumārakassapo;

Vammikasadisaṃ kāyaṃ, sutvā buddhena desitaṃ.

‘‘Tato cittaṃ vimucci me, anupādāya sabbaso;

Pāyāsiṃ damayitvāhaṃ, etadaggamapāpuṇiṃ.
