4. Cūḷabodhicariyā

26. ‘‘Punāparaṃ yadā homi, cūḷabodhi susīlavā;

Bhavaṃ disvāna bhayato, nekkhammaṃ abhinikkhamiṃ.

27. ‘‘Yā me dutiyikā āsi, brāhmaṇī kanakasannibhā;

Sāpi vaṭṭe anapekkhā, nekkhammaṃ abhinikkhami.

28. ‘‘Nirālayā chinnabandhū, anapekkhā kule gaṇe;

Carantā gāmanigamaṃ, bārāṇasimupāgamuṃ.

29. ‘‘Tattha vasāma nipakā, asaṃsaṭṭhā kule gaṇe;

Nirākule appasadde, rājuyyāne vasāmubho.

30. ‘‘Uyyānadassanaṃ gantvā, rājā addasa brāhmaṇiṃ;

Upagamma mamaṃ pucchi, ‘tuyhesā kā kassa bhariyā’.

31. ‘‘Evaṃ vutte ahaṃ tassa, idaṃ vacanamabraviṃ;

‘Na mayhaṃ bhariyā esā, sahadhammā ekasāsanī’.

32. ‘‘Tissā [tassā (sī.)] sārattagadhito, gāhāpetvāna ceṭake;

Nippīḷayanto balasā, antepuraṃ pavesayi.

33. ‘‘Odapattakiyā mayhaṃ, sahajā ekasāsanī;

Ākaḍḍhitvā nayantiyā, kopo me upapajjatha.

34. ‘‘Saha kope samuppanne, sīlabbatamanussariṃ;

Tattheva kopaṃ niggaṇhiṃ, nādāsiṃ vaḍḍhitūpari.

35. ‘‘Yadi naṃ brāhmaṇiṃ koci, koṭṭeyya tiṇhasattiyā;

Neva sīlaṃ pabhindeyyaṃ, bodhiyāyeva kāraṇā.

36. ‘‘Na mesā brāhmaṇī dessā, napi me balaṃ na vijjati;

Sabbaññutaṃ piyaṃ mayhaṃ, tasmā sīlānurakkhisa’’nti.

Cūḷabodhicariyaṃ catutthaṃ.
