Sīlavattheragāthā

608 "Sīlamevidha sikkhetha,
asmiṃ loke susikkhitaṃ;
Sīlañhi sabbasampattiṃ,
upanāmeti sevitaṃ.

609 Sīlaṃ rakkheyya medhāvī,
patthayāno tayo sukhe;
Pasaṃsaṃ vittilābhañca,

610 Sīlavā hi bahū mitte,
saññamenādhigacchati;
Dussīlo pana mittehi,
dhaṃsate pāpamācaraṃ.

611 Avaṇṇañca akittiñca,
dussīlo labhate naro;
Vaṇṇaṃ kittiṃ pasaṃsañca,
sadā labhati sīlavā.

612 Ādi sīlaṃ patiṭṭhā ca,
kalyāṇānañca mātukaṃ;
Pamukhaṃ sabbadhammānaṃ,
tasmā sīlaṃ visodhaye.

613 Velā ca cittassa abhihāsanaṃ;
Titthañca sabbabuddhānaṃ,
tasmā sīlaṃ visodhaye.

614 Sīlaṃ balaṃ appaṭimaṃ,
sīlaṃ āvudhamuttamaṃ;
Sīlamābharaṇaṃ seṭṭhaṃ,
sīlaṃ kavacamabbhutaṃ.

615 Sīlaṃ setu mahesakkho,
sīlaṃ gandho anuttaro;
Sīlaṃ vilepanaṃ seṭṭhaṃ,
yena vāti disodisaṃ.

616 Sīlaṃ sambalamevaggaṃ,
sīlaṃ pātheyyamuttamaṃ;
Sīlaṃ seṭṭho ativāho,
yena yāti disodisaṃ.

617 Idheva nindaṃ labhati,
peccāpāye ca dummano;
Sabbattha dummano bālo,
sīlesu asamāhito.

618 Idheva kittiṃ labhati,
pecca sagge ca summano;
Sabbattha sumano dhīro,
sīlesu susamāhito.

619 Sīlameva idha aggaṃ,
paññavā pana uttamo;
Manussesu ca devesu,
sīlapaññāṇato jayan"ti.

620 "Nīce kulamhi jātohaṃ,
daliddo appabhojano;
ahosiṃ pupphachaḍḍako.

621 Jigucchito manussānaṃ,
paribhūto ca vambhito;
Nīcaṃ manaṃ karitvāna,
vandissaṃ bahukaṃ janaṃ.

622 Athaddasāsiṃ sambuddhaṃ,
bhikkhusaṃghapurakkhataṃ;
Pavisantaṃ mahāvīraṃ,
magadhānaṃ puruttamaṃ.

623 Nikkhipitvāna byābhangiṃ,
vandituṃ upasankamiṃ;
Mameva anukampāya,
aṭṭhāsi purisuttamo.

624 Vanditvā satthuno pāde,
ekamantaṃ ṭhito tadā;
Pabbajjaṃ ahamāyāciṃ,
sabbasattānamuttamaṃ.

625 Tato kāruṇiko satthā,
sabbalokānukampako;
‘Ehi bhikkhū’ti maṃ āha,

626 Sohaṃ eko araññasmiṃ,

Akāsiṃ satthu vacanaṃ,

627 Rattiyā paṭhamaṃ yāmaṃ,
Pubbajātimanussariṃ;
Rattiyā majjhimaṃ yāmaṃ,
Rattiyā pacchime yāme,
Tamokhandhaṃ padālayiṃ.

628 Tato ratyā vivasāne,

Indo brahmā ca āgantvā,
maṃ namassiṃsu pañjalī.

629 ‘Namo te purisājañña,
namo te purisuttama;
Yassa te āsavā khīṇā,
dakkhiṇeyyosi mārisa’.

630 Tato disvāna maṃ satthā,
devasanghapurakkhataṃ;
Sitaṃ pātukaritvāna,

631 ‘Tapena brahmacariyena,

Etena brāhmaṇo hoti,
etaṃ brāhmaṇamuttaman’"ti.
