“Ādittasmiṃ agārasmiṃ,
yaṃ nīharati bhājanaṃ;
Taṃ tassa hoti atthāya,
no ca yaṃ tattha ḍayhati.

Evamādīpito loko,
jarāya maraṇena ca;
Nīharetheva dānena,
dinnaṃ hoti sunīhataṃ”.

“Yo dhamma­laddhassa dadāti dānaṃ,
Uṭṭhā­na­viri­yādhi­gatassa jantu;
Atikkamma so vetaraṇiṃ yamassa,
Dibbāni ṭhānāni upeti macco.

Dānañca yuddhañca samānamāhu,
Appāpi santā bahuke jinanti;
Appampi ce saddahāno dadāti,
Teneva so hoti sukhī parattha.

Viceyya dānaṃ suga­tap­pasat­thaṃ,
Ye dakkhiṇeyyā idha jīvaloke;
Etesu dinnāni mahapphalāni,
Bījāni vuttāni yathā sukhette.

Yo pāṇabhūtāni aheṭhayaṃ caraṃ,
Parūpavādā na karoti pāpaṃ;
Bhīruṃ pasaṃsanti na tattha sūraṃ,
Bhayā hi santo na karonti pāpaṃ.

Hīnena brahmacariyena,
khattiye upapajjati;
Majjhimena ca devattaṃ,
uttamena visujjhati.

Addhā hi dānaṃ bahudhā pasatthaṃ,
Dānā ca kho dhammapadaṃva seyyo;
Pubbeva hi pubbatareva santo,
Nib­bā­na­me­vaj­jha­ga­muṃ sapaññā”ti.

Ādittajātakaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ.
