Na kujjhati sappuriso kadāci;
Kuddhopi so nāvikaroti kopaṃ,
Taṃ ve naraṃ samaṇamāhu loke”.

“Ūnūdaro yo sahate jighacchaṃ,
Danto tapassī mitapāna­bhojano;
Āhārahetu na karoti pāpaṃ,

Tadajja kaṅkhaṃ vitaremu sabbe”.

“Ye paṇḍitā atthadasā bhavanti,
Bhāsanti te yoniso tattha kāle;
Kathaṃ nu kathānaṃ abhāsitānaṃ,
Atthaṃ nayeyyuṃ kusalā janindā.

Kathaṃ have bhāsati nāgarājā,
Garuḷo pana venateyyo kimāha;
Gandhabbarājā pana kiṃ vadesi,
Kathaṃ pana kurūnaṃ rājaseṭṭho”.

“Khantiṃ have bhāsati nāgarājā,
Appāhāraṃ garuḷo venateyyo;
Gandhabbarājā rativippahānaṃ,
Akiñcanaṃ kurūnaṃ rājaseṭṭho”.

Arāva nābhyā susamohitāni;
Catubbhi dhammehi samaṅgibhūtaṃ,
Taṃ ve naraṃ samaṇamāhu loke”.

“Tuvañhi seṭṭho tvamanuttarosi,
Tvaṃ dhammagū dhammavidū sumedho;

Acchecchi dhīro vicikicchitāni;
Acchecchi kaṅkhaṃ vicikicchitāni,
Cundo yathā nāgadantaṃ kharena.

Nīluppalābhaṃ vimalaṃ anagghaṃ,
Vatthaṃ idaṃ dhū­masamā­na­vaṇṇaṃ;
