“Sucit­ta­patta­chadana,
tambacūḷa vihaṅgama;
Oroha dumasākhāya,
mudhā bhariyā bhavāmi te”.

“Catuppadī tvaṃ kalyāṇi,
dvipadāhaṃ manorame;
Migī pakkhī asaññuttā,
aññaṃ pariyesa sāmikaṃ”.

“Komārikā te hessāmi,
Mañjukā piyabhāṇinī;
Vinda maṃ ariyena vedena,
Sāvaya maṃ yadicchasi”.

“Kuṇapādini lohitape,
cori kukkuṭapothini;
Na tvaṃ ariyena vedena,
mamaṃ bhattā­ra­micchasi”.

“Evampi caturā nārī,
disvāna sadhanaṃ naraṃ;
Nenti saṇhāhi vācāhi,
biḷārī viya kukkuṭaṃ.

Yo ca uppatitaṃ atthaṃ,
na khippa­manu­buj­jhati;
Amitta­vasaman­veti,
pacchā ca anutappati.

Yo ca uppatitaṃ atthaṃ,
khippameva nibodhati;
Muccate sattusambādhā,
kukkuṭova biḷāriyā”ti.

Kukkuṭajātakaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ.
