407. Mahākapijātakaṃ (7-2-2)

83.

Attānaṃ saṅkamaṃ katvā, yo sotthiṃ samatārayi;

Kiṃ tvaṃ tesaṃ kime ³ tuyhaṃ, honti ete ⁴ mahākapi.

84.

Rājāhaṃ issaro tesaṃ, yūthassa parihārako;

Tesaṃ sokaparetānaṃ, bhītānaṃ te arindama.

85.

Ullaṅghayitvā ⁶ attānaṃ, vissaṭṭhadhanuno sataṃ;

Tato aparapādesu, daḷhaṃ bandhaṃ latāguṇaṃ.

86.

Chinnabbhamiva vātena, nuṇṇo ⁸ rukkhaṃ upāgamiṃ;

Sohaṃ appabhavaṃ tattha, sākhaṃ hatthehi aggahiṃ.

87.

Taṃ maṃ viyāyataṃ santaṃ, sākhāya ca latāya ca;

Samanukkamantā pādehi, sotthiṃ sākhāmigā gatā.

88.

Taṃ maṃ na tapate bandho, mato ¹⁰ me na tapessati;

Sukhamāharitaṃ tesaṃ, yesaṃ rajjamakārayiṃ.

89.

Esā te upamā rāja, taṃ suṇohi arindama ¹²;

Raññā raṭṭhassa yoggassa, balassa nigamassa ca;

Sabbesaṃ sukhameṭṭhabbaṃ, khattiyena pajānatāti.

Mahākapijātakaṃ dutiyaṃ.
