Dhammapada - Chapter 1: Yamakavagga - Pairs

1 Manopubbangamā dhammā,
manoseṭṭhā manomayā;
Manasā ce paduṭṭhena,
bhāsati vā karoti vā;
Tato naṃ dukkhamanveti,
cakkaṃva vahato padaṃ.

2 Manopubbangamā dhammā,
manoseṭṭhā manomayā;
Manasā ce pasannena,
bhāsati vā karoti vā;
Tato naṃ sukhamanveti,
chāyāva anapāyinī.

3 Akkocchi maṃ avadhi maṃ,
ajini maṃ ahāsi me;
Ye ca taṃ upanayhanti,
veraṃ tesaṃ na sammati.

4 Akkocchi maṃ avadhi maṃ,
ajini maṃ ahāsi me;
Ye ca taṃ nupanayhanti,
veraṃ tesūpasammati.

5 Na hi verena verāni,
sammantīdha kudācanaṃ;
Averena ca sammanti,
esa dhammo sanantano.

6 Pare ca na vijānanti,
mayamettha yamāmase;
Ye ca tattha vijānanti,
tato sammanti medhagā.

7 Subhānupassiṃ viharantaṃ,
indriyesu asaṃvutaṃ;
Bhojanamhi cāmattaññuṃ,
kusītaṃ hīnavīriyaṃ;
Taṃ ve pasahati māro,
vāto rukkhaṃva dubbalaṃ.

8 Asubhānupassiṃ viharantaṃ,
Indriyesu susaṃvutaṃ;
Bhojanamhi ca mattaññuṃ,
Saddhaṃ āraddhavīriyaṃ;
Taṃ ve nappasahati māro,
Vāto selaṃva pabbataṃ.

9 Anikkasāvo kāsāvaṃ,
yo vatthaṃ paridahissati;
Apeto damasaccena,
na so kāsāvamarahati.

10 Yo ca vantakasāvassa,
sīlesu susamāhito;
Upeto damasaccena,
sa ve kāsāvamarahati.

11 Asāre sāramatino,
sāre cāsāradassino;
Te sāraṃ nādhigacchanti,
micchāsankappagocarā.

12 Sārañca sārato ñatvā,
asārañca asārato;
Te sāraṃ adhigacchanti,
sammāsankappagocarā.

13 Yathā agāraṃ ducchannaṃ,
vuṭṭhī samativijjhati;
Evaṃ abhāvitaṃ cittaṃ,
rāgo samativijjhati.

14 Yathā agāraṃ suchannaṃ,
vuṭṭhī na samativijjhati;
Evaṃ subhāvitaṃ cittaṃ,
rāgo na samativijjhati.

15 Idha socati pecca socati,
Pāpakārī ubhayattha socati;
So socati so vihaññati,
Disvā kammakiliṭṭhamattano.

16 Idha modati pecca modati,
Katapuñño ubhayattha modati;
So modati so pamodati,
Disvā kammavisuddhimattano.

17 Idha tappati pecca tappati,
Pāpakārī ubhayattha tappati;
" Pāpaṃ me katan"ti tappati,
Bhiyyo tappati duggatiṃ gato.

18 Idha nandati pecca nandati,
Katapuñño ubhayattha nandati;
" Puññaṃ me katan"ti nandati,
Bhiyyo nandati suggatiṃ gato.

19 Bahumpi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,
Na takkaro hoti naro pamatto;
Gopova gāvo gaṇayaṃ paresaṃ,
Na bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti.

20 Appampi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,
Dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī;
Rāgañca dosañca pahāya mohaṃ,
Sammappajāno suvimuttacitto;
Anupādiyāno idha vā huraṃ vā,
Sa bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti.

Yamakavaggo paṭhamo.
