Dhammapada - Chapter 23: Nagavagga - The Elephant

320 Ahaṃ nāgova sangāme,
cāpato patitaṃ saraṃ;
Ativākyaṃ titikkhissaṃ,
dussīlo hi bahujjano.

321 Dantaṃ nayanti samitiṃ,
dantaṃ rājābhirūhati;
Danto seṭṭho manussesu,
yotivākyaṃ titikkhati.

322 Varamassatarā dantā,
ājānīyā ca sindhavā;
Kuñjarā ca mahānāgā,
attadanto tato varaṃ.

323 Na hi etehi yānehi,
gaccheyya agataṃ disaṃ;
Yathāttanā sudantena,
danto dantena gacchati.

324 Dhanapālo nāma kuñjaro,
Kaṭukabhedano dunnivārayo;
Baddho kabaḷaṃ na bhuñjati,
Sumarati nāgavanassa kuñjaro.

325 Middhī yadā hoti mahagghaso ca,
Niddāyitā samparivattasāyī;
Mahāvarāhova nivāpapuṭṭho,
Punappunaṃ gabbhamupeti mando.

326 Idaṃ pure cittamacāri cārikaṃ,
Yenicchakaṃ yatthakāmaṃ yathāsukhaṃ;
Tadajjahaṃ niggahessāmi yoniso,
Hatthippabhinnaṃ viya ankusaggaho.

327 Appamādaratā hotha,
sacittamanurakkhatha;
Duggā uddharathattānaṃ,
panke sannova kuñjaro.

328 Sace labhetha nipakaṃ sahāyaṃ,
Saddhiṃ caraṃ sādhuvihāridhīraṃ;
Abhibhuyya sabbāni parissayāni,
Careyya tenattamano satīmā.

329 No ce labhetha nipakaṃ sahāyaṃ,
Saddhiṃ caraṃ sādhuvihāridhīraṃ;
Rājāva raṭṭhaṃ vijitaṃ pahāya,
Eko care mātangaraññeva nāgo.

330 Ekassa caritaṃ seyyo,
Natthi bāle sahāyatā;
Eko care na ca pāpāni kayirā,
Appossukko mātangaraññeva nāgo.

331 Atthamhi jātamhi sukhā sahāyā,
Tuṭṭhī sukhā yā itarītarena;
Puññaṃ sukhaṃ jīvitasankhayamhi,
Sabbassa dukkhassa sukhaṃ pahānaṃ.

332 Sukhā matteyyatā loke,
atho petteyyatā sukhā;
Sukhā sāmaññatā loke,
atho brahmaññatā sukhā.

333 Sukhaṃ yāva jarā sīlaṃ,
sukhā saddhā patiṭṭhitā;
Sukho paññāya paṭilābho,
pāpānaṃ akaraṇaṃ sukhaṃ.

Nāgavaggo tevīsatimo.
