439. Catudvārajātakaṃ (1)

1. Catudvāramidaṃ nagaraṃ, āyasaṃ daḷhapākāraṃ;

Oruddhapaṭiruddhosmi, kiṃ pāpaṃ pakataṃ mayā.

2. Sabbe apihitā dvārā, oruddhosmi yathā dijo;

Kimādhikaraṇaṃ yakkha, cakkābhinihato ahaṃ.

3. Laddhā satasahassāni, atirekāni vīsati;

Anukampakānaṃ ñātīnaṃ, vacanaṃ samma nākari.

4. Laṅghiṃ samuddaṃ pakkhandi, sāgaraṃ appasiddhikaṃ;

Catubbhi aṭṭhajjhagamā, aṭṭhāhipi ca soḷasa.

5. Soḷasāhi ca bāttiṃsa, atricchaṃ cakkamāsado;

Icchāhatassa posassa, cakkaṃ bhamati matthake.

6. Uparivisālā duppūrā, icchā visaṭagāminī [visaṭagāminiṃ (pī. ka.)];

Ye ca taṃ anugijjhanti, te honti cakkadhārino.

Yesañcetaṃ asaṅkhātaṃ, te honti cakkadhārino.

8. Kammaṃ samekkhe vipulañca bhogaṃ, icchaṃ na seveyya anatthasaṃhitaṃ;

Kareyya vākyaṃ anukampakānaṃ, taṃ tādisaṃ nātivatteyya cakkaṃ.

9. Kīvaciraṃ nu me yakkha, cakkaṃ sirasi ṭhassati;

Kati vassasahassāni, taṃ me akkhāhi pucchito.

10. Atisaro paccasaro [accasaro (sī. syā. pī.)], mittavinda suṇohi me;

Cakkaṃ te sirasi [sirasmi (syā.)] māviddhaṃ, na taṃ jīvaṃ pamokkhasīti.

Catudvārajātakaṃ paṭhamaṃ.
