79. Hitakāro paro bandhu,

Bandhūpi ahito paro;

A hito dehajo byādhi,

Hitaṃ araññamosadhaṃ.

Paccakkhe piyavādinaṃ;

Vajjeyya tādisaṃ mittaṃ,

Visakumbhe yathā madhuṃ.

Puttadārā sahodarā;

Dhanavantaṃva sevanti,

Dhanaṃ loke mahā sakhā.

82. Jāneyya pesena bhaccaṃ,

Bandhuṃ vāpi bhayāgate;

Appakāsu tathā mittaṃ,

Dārañca vibhavakkhaye.

83. So bandhu yo hite yutto,

Pitaro honti posako;

Taṃ mittaṃ yattha vissāso,

Sā bhariyā ca yassa nibbūti.

Mittañcāpi na vissase;

Kadāci kupito mito,

Sabbaṃ dosaṃ pakāsaye.

Puna sandhitumicchati;

So maccuṃ upagaṇhāti,

Yāva kālo anāgato;

Tameva āgate kāle,

Sele bhinde ghaṭaṃ iva.

Vācā candana sītalā;

Tādisaṃ nopaseveyya,

Naca seveyya macchariṃ;

Tato apaggaṇhaṃ sāmiṃ,

Neva niggahitaṃ tato.

Vajje satena vājinaṃ;

Hatthiṃ dantiṃ sahassena,

Kukulañca kubandhavaṃ;

Kudārañca kudāsañca,

Dūrato parivajjaye.

Byasane sattu viggahe;

Rājadvāre susāne ca,

Ye tiṭṭhanti sumittakā.

93. Sītavāco bahumitto,

Pharuso appamittako;

Upamaṃ ettha ñātabbā,

Canda-sūriya-rājūnaṃ.

Mittakaṇḍo niṭṭhito.
