5. Kumārapetavatthu

453.

Accherarūpaṃ sugatassa ñāṇaṃ, satthā yathā puggalaṃ byākāsi;

Ussannapuññāpi bhavanti heke, parittapuññāpi bhavanti heke.

454.

Ayaṃ kumāro sīvathikāya chaḍḍito, aṅguṭṭhasnehena yāpeti rattiṃ;

Na yakkhabhūtā na sarīsapā ² vā, viheṭhayeyyuṃ katapuññaṃ kumāraṃ.

455.

Sunakhāpimassa palihiṃsu pāde, dhaṅkā siṅgālā ⁴ parivattayanti;

Gabbhāsayaṃ pakkhigaṇā haranti, kākā pana akkhimalaṃ haranti.

456.

Nayimassa ⁶ rakkhaṃ vidahiṃsu keci, na osadhaṃ sāsapadhūpanaṃ vā;

Nakkhattayogampi na aggahesuṃ ⁸, na sabbadhaññānipi ākiriṃsu.

457.

Etādisaṃ uttamakicchapattaṃ, rattābhataṃ sīvathikāya chaḍḍitaṃ;

Nonītapiṇḍaṃva pavedhamānaṃ, sasaṃsayaṃ jīvitasāvasesaṃ.

458.

Tamaddasā devamanussapūjito, disvā ca taṃ byākari bhūripañño;

‘‘Ayaṃ kumāro nagarassimassa, aggakuliko bhavissati bhogato ca’’ ¹⁰.

459.

‘‘Kissa ¹² vataṃ kiṃ pana brahmacariyaṃ, kissa suciṇṇassa ayaṃ vipāko;

Etādisaṃ byasanaṃ pāpuṇitvā, taṃ tādisaṃ paccanubhossatiddhi’’nti.

460.

Buddhapamukhassa bhikkhusaṅghassa, pūjaṃ akāsi janatā uḷāraṃ;

Tatrassa cittassahu aññathattaṃ, vācaṃ abhāsi pharusaṃ asabbhaṃ.

461.

So taṃ vitakkaṃ pavinodayitvā, pītiṃ pasādaṃ paṭiladdhā pacchā;

Tathāgataṃ jetavane vasantaṃ, yāguyā upaṭṭhāsi sattarattaṃ.

462.

Tassa ¹⁴ vataṃ taṃ pana brahmacariyaṃ, tassa suciṇṇassa ayaṃ vipāko;

Etādisaṃ byasanaṃ pāpuṇitvā, taṃ tādisaṃ paccanubhossatiddhiṃ.

463.

Ṭhatvāna so vassasataṃ idheva, sabbehi kāmehi samaṅgibhūto;

Kāyassa bhedā abhisamparāyaṃ, sahabyataṃ gacchati vāsavassāti.

Kumārapetavatthu pañcamaṃ.
