5. Sarabhaṅgattheragāthā

487.

‘‘Sare hatthehi bhañjitvā, katvāna kuṭimacchisaṃ;

Tena me sarabhaṅgoti, nāmaṃ sammutiyā ahu.

488.

‘‘Na mayhaṃ kappate ajja, sare hatthehi bhañjituṃ;

Sikkhāpadā no paññattā, gotamena yasassinā.

489.

‘‘Sakalaṃ samattaṃ rogaṃ, sarabhaṅgo nāddasaṃ pubbe;

Soyaṃ rogo diṭṭho, vacanakarenātidevassa.

490.

‘‘Yeneva maggena gato vipassī, yeneva maggena sikhī ca vessabhū;

Kakusandhakoṇāgamano ca kassapo, tenañjasena agamāsi gotamo.

491.

‘‘Vītataṇhā anādānā, satta buddhā khayogadhā;

Yehāyaṃ desito dhammo, dhammabhūtehi tādibhi.

492.

‘‘Cattāri ariyasaccāni, anukampāya pāṇinaṃ;

Dukkhaṃ samudayo maggo, nirodho dukkhasaṅkhayo.

493.

‘‘Yasmiṃ nivattate ² dukkhaṃ, saṃsārasmiṃ anantakaṃ;

Bhedā imassa kāyassa, jīvitassa ca saṅkhayā;

Añño punabbhavo natthi, suvimuttomhi sabbadhī’’ti.

… Sarabhaṅgo thero….

Sattakanipāto niṭṭhito.

Tatruddānaṃ –

Sundarasamuddo thero, thero lakuṇḍabhaddiyo;

Bhaddo thero ca sopāko, sarabhaṅgo mahāisi;

Sattake pañcakā therā, gāthāyo pañcatiṃsatīti.
