‘‘Imamhi bhaddake kappe, brahmabandhu mahāyaso;

Kassapo nāma gottena, uppajji vadataṃ varo.

252.

‘‘Tadāhaṃ pabbajitvāna, tassa buddhassa sāsane;

Yāvajīvaṃ caritvāna, brahmacāraṃ tato cuto.

253.

Jahitvā mānusaṃ dehaṃ, tāvatiṃsamagacchahaṃ.

254.

‘‘Tato cuto araññamhi, kapoto āsahaṃ tahiṃ;

Vasate guṇasampanno, bhikkhu jhānarato sadā.

255.

Upekkhako mahāvīro, appamaññāsu kovido.

256.

Visaṭṭho nacirenāsiṃ, tasmiṃ sugatasāvake.

‘‘Upecca pādamūlamhi, nisinnassa tadāssame;

Kadāci sāmisaṃ deti, dhammaṃ desesi cekadā.

Tato cuto gato saggaṃ, pavāso sagharaṃ yathā.

259.

Agāraṃ chaḍḍayitvāna, pabbajiṃ bahuso ahaṃ.

260.

Hutvā vasiṃ araññamhi, anekasataso ahaṃ.

261.

‘‘Pacchime ca bhave dāni, ramme kapilavatthave;

Vacchagotto dijo tassa, jāyāya ahamokkamiṃ.

262.

‘‘Mātu me dohaḷo āsi, tirokucchigatassa me;

Jāyamānasamīpamhi, vanavāsāya nicchayo.

263.

‘‘Tato me ajanī mātā, ramaṇīye vanantare;

Gabbhato nikkhamantaṃ maṃ, kāsāyena paṭiggahuṃ.

264.

‘‘Tato kumāro siddhattho, jāto sakyakuladdhajo;

Tassa mitto piyo āsiṃ, saṃvisaṭṭho sumāniyo.

265.

‘‘Sattasārebhinikkhante, ohāya vipulaṃ yasaṃ;

Ahampi pabbajitvāna, himavantamupāgamiṃ.

266.

‘‘Vanālayaṃ bhāvanīyaṃ, kassapaṃ dhutavādikaṃ;

Disvā sutvā jinuppādaṃ, upesiṃ narasārathiṃ.

267.

‘‘So me dhammamadesesi, sabbatthaṃ sampakāsayaṃ;

Tatohaṃ pabbajitvāna, vanameva punāgamaṃ ².

268.

‘‘Tatthāppamatto viharaṃ, chaḷabhiññā aphassayiṃ ⁴;

Aho suladdhalābhomhi, sumittenānukampito.
