Vatthugāthā

982.

Kosalānaṃ purā rammā, agamā dakkhiṇāpathaṃ;

Ākiñcaññaṃ patthayāno, brāhmaṇo mantapāragū.

983.

So assakassa visaye, aḷakassa ² samāsane;

Vasi godhāvarīkūle, uñchena ca phalena ca.

984.

Tasseva upanissāya, gāmo ca vipulo ahu;

Tato jātena āyena, mahāyaññamakappayi.

985.

Mahāyaññaṃ yajitvāna, puna pāvisi assamaṃ;

Tasmiṃ paṭipaviṭṭhamhi, añño āgañchi brāhmaṇo.

986.

Ugghaṭṭapādo tasito ⁴, paṅkadanto rajassiro;

So ca naṃ upasaṅkamma, satāni pañca yācati.

987.

Tamenaṃ bāvarī disvā, āsanena nimantayi;

Sukhañca kusalaṃ pucchi, idaṃ vacanamabravi.

988.

‘‘Yaṃ kho mama deyyadhammaṃ, sabbaṃ visajjitaṃ mayā;

Anujānāhi me brahme, natthi pañcasatāni me’’.

989.

‘‘Sace me yācamānassa, bhavaṃ nānupadassati;

Sattame divase tuyhaṃ, muddhā phalatu sattadhā’’.

990.

Abhisaṅkharitvā kuhako, bheravaṃ so akittayi;

Tassa taṃ vacanaṃ sutvā, bāvarī dukkhito ahu.

991.

Ussussati anāhāro, sokasallasamappito;

Athopi evaṃ cittassa, jhāne na ramatī mano.

992.

Utrastaṃ dukkhitaṃ disvā, devatā atthakāminī;

Bāvariṃ upasaṅkamma, idaṃ vacanamabravi.

993.

‘‘Na so muddhaṃ pajānāti, kuhako so dhanatthiko;

Muddhani muddhapāte vā, ñāṇaṃ tassa na vijjati’’.

994.

‘‘Bhotī carahi jānāsi, taṃ me akkhāhi pucchitā;

Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca, taṃ suṇoma vaco tava’’.

995.

‘‘Ahampetaṃ na jānāmi, ñāṇamettha na vijjati;

Muddhani muddhādhipāte ca, jinānaṃ hettha ⁶ dassanaṃ’’.

996.

‘‘Atha ko carahi jānāti, asmiṃ pathavimaṇḍale ⁸;

Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca, taṃ me akkhāhi devate’’.

997.

‘‘Purā kapilavatthumhā, nikkhanto lokanāyako;

Apacco okkākarājassa, sakyaputto pabhaṅkaro.

998.

‘‘So hi brāhmaṇa sambuddho, sabbadhammāna pāragū;

Sabbābhiññābalappatto, sabbadhammesu cakkhumā;

Sabbakammakkhayaṃ patto, vimutto upadhikkhaye.

999.

‘‘Buddho so bhagavā loke, dhammaṃ deseti cakkhumā;

Taṃ tvaṃ gantvāna pucchassu, so te taṃ byākarissati’’.

1000.

Sambuddhoti vaco sutvā, udaggo bāvarī ahu;

Sokassa tanuko āsi, pītiñca vipulaṃ labhi.

1001.

So bāvarī attamano udaggo, taṃ devataṃ pucchati vedajāto;

‘‘Katamamhi gāme nigamamhi vā pana, katamamhi vā janapade lokanātho;

Yattha gantvāna passemu ¹¹, sambuddhaṃ dvipaduttamaṃ’’ ¹²,.

1002.

‘‘Sāvatthiyaṃ kosalamandire jino, pahūtapañño varabhūrimedhaso;

So sakyaputto vidhuro anāsavo, muddhādhipātassa vidū narāsabho’’.

1003.

Tato āmantayī sisse, brāhmaṇe mantapārage;

‘‘Etha māṇavā akkhissaṃ, suṇātha vacanaṃ mama.

1004.

‘‘Yasseso dullabho loke, pātubhāvo abhiṇhaso;

Svājja lokamhi uppanno, sambuddho iti vissuto;

Khippaṃ gantvāna sāvatthiṃ, passavho dvipaduttamaṃ’’.

1005.

‘‘Kathaṃ carahi jānemu, disvā buddhoti brāhmaṇa;

Ajānataṃ no pabrūhi, yathā jānemu taṃ mayaṃ’’.

1006.

‘‘Āgatāni hi mantesu, mahāpurisalakkhaṇā;

Dvattiṃsāni ca ¹⁴ byākkhātā, samattā anupubbaso.

1007.

‘‘Yassete honti gattesu, mahāpurisalakkhaṇā;

Dveyeva tassa gatiyo, tatiyā hi na vijjati.

1008.

‘‘Sace agāraṃ āvasati ¹⁶, vijeyya pathaviṃ imaṃ;

Adaṇḍena asatthena, dhammenamanusāsati.

1009.

‘‘Sace ca so pabbajati, agārā anagāriyaṃ;

Vivaṭṭacchado ¹⁸ sambuddho, arahā bhavati anuttaro.

1010.

‘‘Jātiṃ gottañca lakkhaṇaṃ, mante sisse punāpare;

Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca, manasāyeva pucchatha.

1011.

‘‘Anāvaraṇadassāvī, yadi buddho bhavissati;

Manasā pucchite pañhe, vācāya vissajessati’’.

1012.

Bāvarissa vaco sutvā, sissā soḷasa brāhmaṇā;

Ajito tissametteyyo, puṇṇako atha mettagū.

1013.

Dhotako upasīvo ca, nando ca atha hemako;

Todeyyakappā dubhayo, jatukaṇṇī ca paṇḍito.

1014.

Bhadrāvudho udayo ca, posālo cāpi brāhmaṇo;

Mogharājā ca medhāvī, piṅgiyo ca mahāisi.

1015.

Paccekagaṇino sabbe, sabbalokassa vissutā;

Jhāyī jhānaratā dhīrā, pubbavāsanavāsitā.

1016.

Bāvariṃ abhivādetvā, katvā ca naṃ padakkhiṇaṃ;

Jaṭājinadharā sabbe, pakkāmuṃ uttarāmukhā.

1017.

Aḷakassa patiṭṭhānaṃ, purimāhissatiṃ ²⁰ tadā;

Ujjeniñcāpi gonaddhaṃ, vedisaṃ vanasavhayaṃ.

1018.

Kosambiñcāpi sāketaṃ, sāvatthiñca puruttamaṃ;

Setabyaṃ kapilavatthuṃ, kusinārañca mandiraṃ.

1019.

Pāvañca bhoganagaraṃ, vesāliṃ māgadhaṃ puraṃ;

Pāsāṇakaṃ cetiyañca, ramaṇīyaṃ manoramaṃ.

1020.

Tasitovudakaṃ sītaṃ, mahālābhaṃva vāṇijo;

Chāyaṃ dhammābhitattova, turitā pabbatamāruhuṃ.

1021.

Bhagavā tamhi samaye, bhikkhusaṅghapurakkhato;

Bhikkhūnaṃ dhammaṃ deseti, sīhova nadatī vane.

1022.

Ajito addasa buddhaṃ, sataraṃsiṃ ²² va bhāṇumaṃ;

Candaṃ yathā pannarase, pāripūriṃ upāgataṃ.

1023.

Athassa gatte disvāna, paripūrañca byañjanaṃ;

Ekamantaṃ ṭhito haṭṭho, manopañhe apucchatha.

1024.

‘‘Ādissa jammanaṃ ²⁵ brūhi, gottaṃ brūhi salakkhaṇaṃ ²⁶;

Mantesu pāramiṃ brūhi, kati vāceti brāhmaṇo’’.

1025.

‘‘Vīsaṃ vassasataṃ āyu, so ca gottena bāvarī;

Tīṇissa lakkhaṇā gatte, tiṇṇaṃ vedāna pāragū.

1026.

‘‘Lakkhaṇe itihāse ca, sanighaṇḍusakeṭubhe;

Pañcasatāni vāceti, sadhamme pāramiṃ gato’’.

1027.

‘‘Lakkhaṇānaṃ pavicayaṃ, bāvarissa naruttama;

Kaṅkhacchida ²⁸ pakāsehi, mā no kaṅkhāyitaṃ ahu’’.

1028.

‘‘Mukhaṃ jivhāya chādeti, uṇṇassa bhamukantare;

Kosohitaṃ vatthaguyhaṃ, evaṃ jānāhi māṇava’’.

1029.

Pucchañhi kiñci asuṇanto, sutvā pañhe viyākate;

Vicinteti jano sabbo, vedajāto katañjalī.

1030.

‘‘Ko nu devo vā brahmā vā, indo vāpi sujampati;

Manasā pucchite pañhe, kametaṃ paṭibhāsati.

1031.

‘‘Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca, bāvarī paripucchati;

Taṃ byākarohi bhagavā, kaṅkhaṃ vinaya no ise’’.

1032.

‘‘Avijjā muddhāti jānāhi, vijjā muddhādhipātinī;

Saddhāsatisamādhīhi, chandavīriyena saṃyutā’’.

1033.

Tato vedena mahatā, santhambhitvāna māṇavo;

Ekaṃsaṃ ajinaṃ katvā, pādesu sirasā pati.

1034.

‘‘Bāvarī brāhmaṇo bhoto, saha sissehi mārisa;

Udaggacitto sumano, pāde vandati cakkhuma’’.

1035.

‘‘Sukhito bāvarī hotu, saha sissehi brāhmaṇo;

Tvañcāpi sukhito hohi, ciraṃ jīvāhi māṇava.

1036.

‘‘Bāvarissa ca tuyhaṃ vā, sabbesaṃ sabbasaṃsayaṃ;

Katāvakāsā pucchavho, yaṃ kiñci manasicchatha’’.

1037.

Sambuddhena katokāso, nisīditvāna pañjalī;

Ajito paṭhamaṃ pañhaṃ, tattha pucchi tathāgataṃ.

Vatthugāthā niṭṭhitā.
