9. Paṭhamaāyusuttaṃ

145. Evaṃ me sutaṃ – ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi – ‘‘bhikkhavo’’ti. ‘‘Bhadante’’ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. Bhagavā etadavoca –

‘‘Appamidaṃ, bhikkhave, manussānaṃ āyu. Gamanīyo samparāyo, kattabbaṃ kusalaṃ, caritabbaṃ brahmacariyaṃ. Natthi jātassa amaraṇaṃ. Yo, bhikkhave, ciraṃ jīvati, so vassasataṃ appaṃ vā bhiyyo’’ti.

Atha kho māro pāpimā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi –

‘‘Dīghamāyu manussānaṃ, na naṃ hīḷe suporiso;

Careyya khīramattova, natthi maccussa āgamo’’ti.

‘‘Appamāyu manussānaṃ, hīḷeyya naṃ suporiso;

Careyyādittasīsova, natthi maccussa nāgamo’’ti.

Atha kho māro…pe… tatthevantaradhāyīti.
