1. Pabbajjāsuttaṃ

407.

Pabbajjaṃ kittayissāmi, yathā pabbaji cakkhumā;

Yathā vīmaṃsamāno so, pabbajjaṃ samarocayi.

408.

Sambādhoyaṃ gharāvāso, rajassāyatanaṃ iti;

Abbhokāsova pabbajjā, iti disvāna pabbaji.

409.

Pabbajitvāna kāyena, pāpakammaṃ vivajjayi;

Vacīduccaritaṃ hitvā, ājīvaṃ parisodhayi.

410.

Agamā rājagahaṃ buddho, magadhānaṃ giribbajaṃ;

Piṇḍāya abhihāresi, ākiṇṇavaralakkhaṇo.

411.

Tamaddasā bimbisāro, pāsādasmiṃ patiṭṭhito;

Disvā lakkhaṇasampannaṃ, imamatthaṃ abhāsatha.

412.

‘‘Imaṃ bhonto nisāmetha, abhirūpo brahā suci;

Caraṇena ca sampanno, yugamattañca pekkhati.

413.

‘‘Okkhittacakkhu satimā, nāyaṃ nīcakulāmiva;

Rājadūtābhidhāvantu, kuhiṃ bhikkhu gamissati’’.

414.

Te pesitā rājadūtā, piṭṭhito anubandhisuṃ;

Kuhiṃ gamissati bhikkhu, kattha vāso bhavissati.

415.

Sapadānaṃ caramāno, guttadvāro susaṃvuto;

Khippaṃ pattaṃ apūresi, sampajāno paṭissato.

416.

Piṇḍacāraṃ caritvāna, nikkhamma nagarā muni;

Paṇḍavaṃ abhihāresi, ettha vāso bhavissati.

417.

Disvāna vāsūpagataṃ, tayo ² dūtā upāvisuṃ;

Tesu ekova ⁴ āgantvā, rājino paṭivedayi.

418.

‘‘Esa bhikkhu mahārāja, paṇḍavassa puratthato ⁶;

Nisinno byagghusabhova, sīhova girigabbhare’’.

419.

Sutvāna dūtavacanaṃ, bhaddayānena khattiyo;

Taramānarūpo niyyāsi, yena paṇḍavapabbato.

420.

Sa yānabhūmiṃ yāyitvā, yānā oruyha khattiyo;

Pattiko upasaṅkamma, āsajja naṃ upāvisi.

421.

Nisajja rājā sammodi, kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ tato;

Kathaṃ so vītisāretvā, imamatthaṃ abhāsatha.

422.

‘‘Yuvā ca daharo cāsi, paṭhamuppattiko ⁸ susu;

Vaṇṇārohena sampanno, jātimā viya khattiyo.

423.

‘‘Sobhayanto anīkaggaṃ, nāgasaṅghapurakkhato;

Dadāmi bhoge bhuñjassu, jātiṃ akkhāhi pucchito’’.

424.

‘‘Ujuṃ janapado rāja, himavantassa passato;

Dhanavīriyena sampanno, kosalesu ¹⁰ niketino.

425.

‘‘Ādiccā ¹³ nāma gottena, sākiyā ¹⁴ nāma jātiyā;

Tamhā kulā pabbajitomhi, na kāme abhipatthayaṃ.

426.

‘‘Kāmesvādīnavaṃ disvā, nekkhammaṃ daṭṭhu khemato;

Padhānāya gamissāmi, ettha me rañjatī mano’’ti.

Pabbajjāsuttaṃ paṭhamaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.
