8. Nāvāsuttaṃ

318. Yasmā hi dhammaṃ puriso vijaññā, indaṃva naṃ devatā pūjayeyya;

So pūjito tasmi pasannacitto, bahussuto pātukaroti dhammaṃ.

319. Tadaṭṭhikatvāna nisamma dhīro, dhammānudhammaṃ paṭipajjamāno;

Viññū vibhāvī nipuṇo ca hoti, yo tādisaṃ bhajati appamatto.

320. Khuddañca bālaṃ upasevamāno, anāgatatthañca usūyakañca;

Idheva dhammaṃ avibhāvayitvā, avitiṇṇakaṅkho maraṇaṃ upeti.

321. Yathā naro āpagamotaritvā, mahodakaṃ salilaṃ sīghasotaṃ;

So vuyhamāno anusotagāmī, kiṃ so pare sakkhati tārayetuṃ.

322. Tatheva dhammaṃ avibhāvayitvā, bahussutānaṃ anisāmayatthaṃ;

Sayaṃ ajānaṃ avitiṇṇakaṅkho, kiṃ so pare sakkhati nijjhapetuṃ.

323. Yathāpi nāvaṃ daḷhamāruhitvā, phiyena [piyena (sī. syā.)] rittena samaṅgibhūto;

So tāraye tattha bahūpi aññe, tatrūpayaññū kusalo mutīmā [matīmā (syā. ka.)].

324. Evampi yo vedagu bhāvitatto, bahussuto hoti avedhadhammo;

So kho pare nijjhapaye pajānaṃ, sotāvadhānūpanisūpapanne.

325. Tasmā have sappurisaṃ bhajetha, medhāvinañceva bahussutañca;

Aññāya atthaṃ paṭipajjamāno, viññātadhammo sa sukhaṃ [so sukhaṃ (sī.)] labhethāti.

Nāvāsuttaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.
