Tatthetaṃ vuccati: 

“Micchājīvañca avassaji samena vuttiṃ,
Sucinā so janayittha dhammikena;
Ahitamapi ca apanudi,
Hitamapi ca bahu­jana­su­khañca acari.

Sagge vedayati naro sukhapphalāni,
Karitvā nipuṇebhi vidūhi sabbhi;
Vaṇṇitāni tidiva­pu­rava­rasamo,
Abhiramati rati­khiḍḍā­samaṅgī.

Laddhāna mānusakaṃ bhavaṃ tato,
Cavitvāna sukata­phala­vipākaṃ;
Sesakena paṭilabhati lapanajaṃ,
Samamapi sucisusukkaṃ.

Taṃ veyyañjanikā samāgatā bahavo,
Byākaṃsu nipuṇasammatā manujā;
Suci­jana­pari­vāra­gaṇo bhavati,
Dijasama­sukka­suci­sobha­na­danto.

Rañño hoti bahujano,
Suciparivāro mahatiṃ mahiṃ anusāsato;
Pasayha na ca jana­pada­tudanaṃ,
Hitamapi ca bahu­jana­su­khañca caranti.

Atha ce pabbajati bhavati vipāpo,
Samaṇo samitarajo vivaṭṭacchado;
Vigata­dara­tha­kila­matho,
Imamapi ca paramapi ca passati lokaṃ.

Tassovādakarā bahugihī ca pabbajitā ca,
Asuciṃ garahitaṃ dhunanti pāpaṃ;
Sa hi sucibhi parivuto bhavati,
Mala­khila­kali­kilese panudehī”ti.

Idamavoca bhagavā. Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandunti.

Lakkhaṇasuttaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ sattamaṃ.
