23. Vessabhūbuddhavaṃso

1.

Tattheva maṇḍakappamhi, asamo appaṭipuggalo;

Vessabhū nāma nāmena, loke uppajji nāyako ².

2.

Ādittaṃ vata rāgaggi, taṇhānaṃ vijitaṃ tadā;

Nāgova bandhanaṃ chetvā, patto sambodhimuttamaṃ.

3.

Dhammacakkaṃ pavattente, vessabhūlokanāyake;

Asītikoṭisahassānaṃ, paṭhamābhisamayo ahu.

4.

Pakkante cārikaṃ raṭṭhe, lokajeṭṭhe narāsabhe;

Sattatikoṭisahassānaṃ, dutiyābhisamayo ahu.

5.

Mahādiṭṭhiṃ vinodento, pāṭiheraṃ karoti so;

Samāgatā naramarū, dasasahassī sadevake.

6.

Mahāacchariyaṃ disvā, abbhutaṃ lomahaṃsanaṃ;

Devā ceva manussā ca, bujjhare saṭṭhikoṭiyo.

7.

Sannipātā tayo āsuṃ, vessabhussa mahesino;

Khīṇāsavānaṃ vimalānaṃ, santacittāna tādinaṃ.

8.

Asītibhikkhusahassānaṃ, paṭhamo āsi samāgamo;

Sattatibhikkhusahassānaṃ, dutiyo āsi samāgamo.

9.

Saṭṭhibhikkhusahassānaṃ , tatiyo āsi samāgamo;

Jarādibhayabhītānaṃ, orasānaṃ mahesino.

10.

Ahaṃ tena samayena, sudassano nāma khattiyo;

Nimantetvā mahāvīraṃ, dānaṃ datvā mahārahaṃ;

Annapānena vatthena, sasaṅghaṃ jina pūjayiṃ.

11.

Tassa buddhassa asamassa, cakkaṃ vattitamuttamaṃ;

Sutvāna paṇitaṃ dhammaṃ, pabbajjamabhirocayiṃ.

12.

Mahādānaṃ pavattetvā, rattindivamatandito;

Pabbajjaṃ guṇasampannaṃ, pabbajiṃ jinasantike.

13.

Ācāraguṇasampanno, vattasīlasamāhito;

Sabbaññutaṃ gavesanto, ramāmi jinasāsane.

14.

Saddhāpītiṃ upagantvā, buddhaṃ vandāmi sattharaṃ;

Pīti uppajjati mayhaṃ, bodhiyāyeva kāraṇā.

15.

Anivattamānasaṃ ñatvā, sambuddho etadabravi;

‘‘Ekatiṃse ito kappe, ayaṃ buddho bhavissati.

16.

‘‘Ahu kapilavhayā rammā…pe… hessāma sammukhā imaṃ’’.

17.

Tassāhaṃ vacanaṃ sutvā, bhiyyo cittaṃ pasādayiṃ;

Uttariṃ vatamadhiṭṭhāsiṃ, dasapāramipūriyā.

18.

Anomaṃ nāma nagaraṃ, suppatīto nāma khattiyo;

Mātā yasavatī nāma, vessabhussa mahesino.

19.

Cha ca vassasahassāni, agāraṃ ajjha so vasi;

Ruci suruci rativaḍḍhano, tayo pāsādamuttamā.

20.

Anūnatiṃsasahassāni, nāriyo samalaṅkatā;

Sucittā nāma sā nārī, suppabuddho nāma atrajo.

21.

Nimitte caturo disvā, sivikāyābhinikkhami;

Chamāsaṃ padhānacāraṃ, acarī purisuttamo.

22.

Brahmunā yācito santo, vessabhūlokanāyako;

Vatti cakkaṃ mahāvīro, aruṇārāme naruttamo.

23.

Soṇo ca uttaro ceva, ahesuṃ aggasāvakā;

Upasanto nāmupaṭṭhāko, vessabhussa mahesino.

24.

Rāmā ⁴ ceva samālā ca, ahesuṃ aggasāvikā;

Bodhi tassa bhagavato, mahāsāloti vuccati.

25.

Sotthiko ceva rambho ca, ahesuṃ aggupaṭṭhakā;

Gotamī sirimā ceva, ahesuṃ aggupaṭṭhikā.

26.

Saṭṭhiratanamubbedho, hemayūpasamūpamo;

Kāyā niccharati rasmi, rattiṃva pabbate sikhī.

27.

Saṭṭhivassasahassāni, āyu tassa mahesino;

Tāvatā tiṭṭhamāno so, tāresi janataṃ bahuṃ.

28.

Dhammaṃ vitthārikaṃ katvā, vibhajitvā mahājanaṃ;

Dhammanāvaṃ ṭhapetvāna, nibbuto so sasāvako.

29.

Dassaneyyaṃ sabbajanaṃ, vihāraṃ iriyāpathaṃ;

Sabbaṃ tamantarahitaṃ, nanu rittā sabbasaṅkhārā.

30.

Vessabhū jinavaro satthā, khemārāmamhi nibbuto;

Dhātuvitthārikaṃ āsi, tesu tesu padesatoti.

Vessabhussa bhagavato vaṃso ekavīsatimo.
