‘‘Petāni bhoti puttāni, khādamānā tuvaṃ pure;

Tuvaṃ divā ca ratto ca, atīva paritappasi.

314.

‘‘Sājja sabbāni khāditvā, sataputtāni ² brāhmaṇī;

Vāseṭṭhi kena vaṇṇena, na bāḷhaṃ paritappasi’’.

315.

‘‘Bahūni puttasatāni, ñātisaṅghasatāni ca;

Khāditāni atītaṃse, mama tuyhañca brāhmaṇa.

316.

‘‘Sāhaṃ nissaraṇaṃ ñatvā, jātiyā maraṇassa ca;

Na socāmi na rodāmi, na cāpi paritappayiṃ’’.

317.

‘‘Abbhutaṃ vata vāseṭṭhi, vācaṃ bhāsasi edisiṃ;

Kassa tvaṃ dhammamaññāya, giraṃ ⁴ bhāsasi edisiṃ’’.

318.

‘‘Esa brāhmaṇa sambuddho, nagaraṃ mithilaṃ pati;

Sabbadukkhappahānāya, dhammaṃ desesi pāṇinaṃ.

319.

‘‘Tassa brahme ⁶ arahato, dhammaṃ sutvā nirūpadhiṃ;

Tattha viññātasaddhammā, puttasokaṃ byapānudiṃ’’.

320.

‘‘So ahampi gamissāmi, nagaraṃ mithilaṃ pati;

Appeva maṃ so bhagavā, sabbadukkhā pamocaye’’.

321.

Addasa brāhmaṇo buddhaṃ, vippamuttaṃ nirūpadhiṃ;

Svassa dhammamadesesi, muni dukkhassa pāragū.

322.

Dukkhaṃ dukkhasamuppādaṃ, dukkhassa ca atikkamaṃ;

Ariyaṃ caṭṭhaṅgikaṃ maggaṃ, dukkhūpasamagāminaṃ.

323.

Tattha viññātasaddhammo, pabbajjaṃ samarocayi;

Sujāto tīhi rattīhi, tisso vijjā aphassayi.

324.

‘‘Ehi sārathi gacchāhi, rathaṃ niyyādayāhimaṃ;

Ārogyaṃ brāhmaṇiṃ vajja ⁹, ‘pabbaji ¹⁰ dāni brāhmaṇo;

Sujāto tīhi rattīhi, tisso vijjā aphassayi’’’.

325.

Tato ca rathamādāya, sahassañcāpi sārathi;

Ārogyaṃ brāhmaṇivoca, ‘‘pabbaji dāni brāhmaṇo;

Sujāto tīhi rattīhi, tisso vijjā aphassayi’’.

326.

‘‘Etañcāhaṃ assarathaṃ, sahassañcāpi sārathi;

Tevijjaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ sutvā ¹², puṇṇapattaṃ dadāmi te’’.

327.

‘‘Tuyheva hotvassaratho, sahassañcāpi brāhmaṇi;

Ahampi pabbajissāmi, varapaññassa santike’’.

328.

‘‘Hatthī gavassaṃ maṇikuṇḍalañca, phītañcimaṃ gahavibhavaṃ pahāya;

Pitā pabbajito tuyhaṃ, bhuñja bhogāni sundari; Tuvaṃ dāyādikā kule’’.

329.

‘‘Hatthī gavassaṃ maṇikuṇḍalañca, rammaṃ cimaṃ gahavibhavaṃ pahāya;

Pitā pabbajito mayhaṃ, puttasokena aṭṭito;

Ahampi pabbajissāmi, bhātusokena aṭṭitā’’.

330.

‘‘So te ijjhatu saṅkappo, yaṃ tvaṃ patthesi sundarī;

Uttiṭṭhapiṇḍo uñcho ca, paṃsukūlañca cīvaraṃ;

Etāni abhisambhontī, paraloke anāsavā’’.

331.

‘‘Sikkhamānāya me ayye, dibbacakkhu visodhitaṃ;

Pubbenivāsaṃ jānāmi, yattha me vusitaṃ pure.

332.

‘‘Tuvaṃ nissāya kalyāṇī, therī saṅghassa sobhane;

Tisso vijjā anuppattā, kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

333.

‘‘Anujānāhi me ayye, icche sāvatthi gantave;

Sīhanādaṃ nadissāmi, buddhaseṭṭhassa santike’’.

334.

‘‘Passa sundari satthāraṃ, hemavaṇṇaṃ harittacaṃ;

Adantānaṃ dametāraṃ, sambuddhamakutobhayaṃ’’.

335.

‘‘Passa sundarimāyantiṃ, vippamuttaṃ nirūpadhiṃ;

Vītarāgaṃ visaṃyuttaṃ, katakiccamanāsavaṃ.

336.

‘‘Bārāṇasīto nikkhamma, tava santikamāgatā;

Sāvikā te mahāvīra, pāde vandati sundarī’’.

337.

‘‘Tuvaṃ buddho tuvaṃ satthā, tuyhaṃ dhītāmhi brāhmaṇa;

Orasā mukhato jātā, katakiccā anāsavā’’.

338.

‘‘Tassā te svāgataṃ bhadde, tato ¹⁴ te adurāgataṃ;

Evañhi dantā āyanti, satthu pādāni vandikā;

Vītarāgā visaṃyuttā, katakiccā anāsavā’’.
