1.

Kosalānaṃ purā rammā, agamā dakkhiṇāpathaṃ;

Ākiñcaññaṃ patthayāno, brāhmaṇo mantapāragū.

2.

So assakassa visaye, maḷakassa ³ samāsane ⁴;

Vasi godhāvarīkūle, uñchena ca phalena ca.

3.

Tasseva ⁶ upanissāya, gāmo ca vipulo ahu;

Tato jātena āyena, mahāyaññamakappayi.

4.

Mahāyaññaṃ yajitvāna, puna pāvisi assamaṃ;

Tasmiṃ paṭipaviṭṭhamhi, añño āgañchi brāhmaṇo.

5.

Ugghaṭṭapādo tasito ⁸, paṅkadanto rajassiro;

So ca naṃ upasaṅkamma, satāni pañca yācati.

6.

Tamenaṃ bāvarī disvā, āsanena nimantayi;

Sukhañca kusalaṃ pucchi, idaṃ vacanamabravi ¹⁰.

7.

‘‘Yaṃ kho mama deyyadhammaṃ, sabbaṃ visajjitaṃ mayā;

Anujānāhi me brahme, natthi pañcasatāni me’’.

8.

‘‘Sace me yācamānassa, bhavaṃ nānupadassati ¹²;

Sattame divase tuyhaṃ, muddhā phalatu sattadhā’’.

9.

Abhisaṅkharitvā kuhako, bheravaṃ so akittayi;

Tassa taṃ vacanaṃ sutvā, bāvarī dukkhito ahu.

10.

Ussussati anāhāro, sokasallasamappito;

Athopi evaṃ cittassa, jhāne na ramatī mano.

11.

Utrastaṃ dukkhitaṃ disvā, devatā atthakāminī;

Bāvariṃ upasaṅkamma, idaṃ vacanamabravi.

12.

‘‘Na so muddhaṃ pajānāti, kuhako so dhanatthiko;

Muddhani muddhapāte ¹⁴ vā, ñāṇaṃ tassa na vijjati’’.

13.

‘‘Bhotī ¹⁶ carahi jānāti, taṃ me akkhāhi pucchitā;

Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca ¹⁸, taṃ suṇoma vaco tava’’.

14.

‘‘Ahampetaṃ na jānāmi, ñāṇaṃ mettha na vijjati;

Muddhani muddhādhipāte ca, jinānañhettha ²⁰ dassanaṃ’’.

15.

‘‘Atha ko carahi ²³ jānāti, asmiṃ pathavimaṇḍale ²⁴;

Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca, taṃ me akkhāhi devate’’.

16.

‘‘Purā kapilavatthumhā, nikkhanto lokanāyako;

Apacco okkākarājassa, sakyaputto pabhaṅkaro.

17.

‘‘So hi brāhmaṇa sambuddho, sabbadhammāna pāragū;

Sabbābhiññābalappatto ²⁶, sabbadhammesu cakkhumā;

Sabbakammakkhayaṃ patto, vimutto upadhikkhaye.

18.

‘‘Buddho so bhagavā loke, dhammaṃ deseti cakkhumā;

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

19.

Sambuddhoti vaco sutvā, udaggo bāvarī ahu;

Sokassa tanuko āsi, pītiñca vipulaṃ labhi.

20.

So bāvarī attamano udaggo, taṃ devataṃ pucchati vedajāto;

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

Yattha gantvāna passemu, sambuddhaṃ dvipaduttamaṃ’’.

21.

‘‘Sāvatthiyaṃ kosalamandire jino, pahūtapañño varabhūrimedhaso;

So sakyaputto vidhuro anāsavo, muddhādhipātassa vidū narāsabho’’.

22.

Tato āmantayī sisse, brāhmaṇe mantapāragū ²⁸;

‘‘Etha māṇavā akkhissaṃ, suṇātha vacanaṃ mama.

23.

‘‘Yasseso dullabho loke, pātubhāvo abhiṇhaso;

Svājja lokamhi uppanno, sambuddho iti vissuto;

Khippaṃ gantvāna sāvatthiṃ, passavho dvipaduttamaṃ’’.

24.

‘‘Kathaṃ carahi jānemu, disvā buddhoti brāhmaṇa;

Ajānataṃ no pabrūhi, yathā jānemu taṃ mayaṃ’’.

25.

‘‘Āgatāni hi mantesu, mahāpurisalakkhaṇā;

Dvattiṃsāni ca byākkhātā, samattā anupubbaso.

26.

‘‘Yassete honti gattesu, mahāpurisalakkhaṇā;

Dveyeva tassa gatiyo, tatiyā hi na vijjati.

27.

‘‘Sace agāraṃ āvasati, vijeyya pathaviṃ imaṃ;

Adaṇḍena asatthena, dhammena anusāsati.

28.

‘‘Sace ca so pabbajati, agārā anagāriyaṃ;

Vivaṭṭacchado ³⁰ sambuddho, arahā bhavati anuttaro.

29.

‘‘Jātiṃ gottañca lakkhaṇaṃ, mante sisse punāpare;

Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca, manasāyeva pucchatha.

30.

‘‘Anāvaraṇadassāvī, yadi buddho bhavissati;

Manasā pucchite pañhe, vācāya visajjissati’’ ³².

31.

Bāvarissa vaco sutvā, sissā soḷasa brāhmaṇā;

Ajito tissametteyyo, puṇṇako atha mettagū.

32.

Dhotako upasīvo ca, nando ca atha hemako;

Todeyya-kappā dubhayo, jatukaṇṇī ca paṇḍito.

33.

Bhadrāvudho udayo ca, posālo cāpi brāhmaṇo;

Mogharājā ca medhāvī, piṅgiyo ca mahāisi.

34.

Paccekagaṇino sabbe, sabbalokassa vissutā;

Jhāyī jhānaratā dhīrā, pubbavāsanavāsitā.

35.

Bāvariṃ abhivādetvā, katvā ca naṃ padakkhiṇaṃ;

Jaṭājinadharā sabbe, pakkāmuṃ uttarāmukhā.

36.

Maḷakassa patiṭṭhānaṃ, puramāhissatiṃ ³⁵ tadā ³⁶;

Ujjeniñcāpi gonaddhaṃ, vedisaṃ vanasavhayaṃ.

37.

Kosambiñcāpi sāketaṃ, sāvatthiñca puruttamaṃ;

Setabyaṃ kapilavatthuṃ, kusinārañca mandiraṃ.

38.

Pāvañca bhoganagaraṃ, vesāliṃ māgadhaṃ puraṃ;

Pāsāṇakaṃ cetiyañca, ramaṇīyaṃ manoramaṃ.

39.

Tasitovudakaṃ sītaṃ, mahālābhaṃva vāṇijo;

Chāyaṃ ghammābhitattova turitā pabbatamāruhuṃ.

40.

Bhagavā tamhi samaye, bhikkhusaṅghapurakkhato;

Bhikkhūnaṃ dhammaṃ deseti, sīhova nadatī vane.

41.

Ajito addasa buddhaṃ, pītaraṃsiṃva ³⁸ bhāṇumaṃ;

Candaṃ yathā pannarase, paripūraṃ ⁴⁰ upāgataṃ.

42.

Athassa gatte disvāna, paripūrañca byañjanaṃ;

Ekamantaṃ ṭhito haṭṭho, manopañhe apucchatha.

43.

‘‘Ādissa jammanaṃ brūhi, gottaṃ brūhi salakkhaṇaṃ;

Mantesu pāramiṃ brūhi, kati vāceti brāhmaṇo’’.

44.

‘‘Vīsaṃ vassasataṃ āyu, so ca gottena bāvarī;

Tīṇissa lakkhaṇā gatte, tiṇṇaṃ vedāna pāragū.

45.

‘‘Lakkhaṇe itihāse ca, sanighaṇḍusakeṭubhe;

Pañcasatāni vāceti, sadhamme pāramiṃ gato’’.

46.

‘‘Lakkhaṇānaṃ pavicayaṃ, bāvarissa naruttama;

Taṇhacchida ⁴² pakāsehi, mā no kaṅkhāyitaṃ ahu’’.

47.

‘‘Mukhaṃ jivhāya chādeti, uṇṇassa bhamukantare;

Kosohitaṃ vatthaguyhaṃ, evaṃ jānāhi māṇava’’.

48.

Pucchañhi kiñci asuṇanto, sutvā pañhe viyākate;

Vicinteti jano sabbo, vedajāto katañjalī.

49.

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

Manasā pucchite pañhe, kametaṃ paṭibhāsati.

50.

‘‘Muddhaṃ muddhādhipātañca, bāvarī paripucchati;

Taṃ byākarohi bhagavā, kaṅkhaṃ vinaya no ise’’.

51.

‘‘Avijjā muddhāti jānāhi, vijjā muddhādhipātinī;

Saddhāsatisamādhīhi, chandavīriyena saṃyutā’’.

52.

Tato vedena mahatā, santhambhetvāna māṇavo;

Ekaṃsaṃ ajinaṃ katvā, pādesu sirasā pati.

53.

‘‘Bāvarī brāhmaṇo bhoto, saha sissehi mārisa;

Udaggacitto sumano, pāde vandati cakkhuma’’.

54.

‘‘Sukhito bāvarī hotu, saha sissehi brāhmaṇo;

Tvañcāpi sukhito hohi, ciraṃ jīvāhi māṇava.

55.

‘‘Bāvarissa ca tuyhaṃ vā, sabbesaṃ sabbasaṃsayaṃ;

Katāvakāsā pucchavho, yaṃ kiñci manasicchatha’’.

56.

Sambuddhena katokāso, nisīditvāna pañjalī;

Ajito paṭhamaṃ pañhaṃ, tattha pucchi tathāgataṃ.

Vatthugāthā niṭṭhitā.
