23. Nāgavaggo
Ahaṃ nāgova saṅgāme, cāpato patitaṃ saraṃ;
Ativākyaṃ titikkhissaṃ, dussīlo hi bahujjano.
Dantaṃ nayanti samitiṃ, dantaṃ rājābhirūhati;
Danto seṭṭho manussesu, yotivākyaṃ titikkhati.
Varamassatarā dantā, ājānīyā ca [ājānīyāva (syā.)] sindhavā;
Kuñjarā ca [kuñjarāva (syā.)] mahānāgā, attadanto tato varaṃ.
Na hi etehi yānehi, gaccheyya agataṃ disaṃ;
Yathāttanā sudantena, danto dantena gacchati.
Dhanapālo [dhanapālako (sī. syā. kaṃ. pī.)] nāma kuñjaro, kaṭukabhedano [kaṭukappabhedano (sī. syā. pī.)] dunnivārayo;
Baddho kabaḷaṃ na bhuñjati, sumarati [susarati (ka.)] nāgavanassa kuñjaro.
Middhī yadā hoti mahagghaso ca, niddāyitā samparivattasāyī;
Mahāvarāhova nivāpapuṭṭho, punappunaṃ gabbhamupeti mando.
Idaṃ pure cittamacāri cārikaṃ, yenicchakaṃ yatthakāmaṃ yathāsukhaṃ;
Tadajjahaṃ niggahessāmi yoniso, hatthippabhinnaṃ viya aṅkusaggaho.
Appamādaratā hotha, sacittamanurakkhatha;
Duggā uddharathattānaṃ, paṅke sannova [sattova (sī. pī.)] kuñjaro.
Sace labhetha nipakaṃ sahāyaṃ, saddhiṃ caraṃ sādhuvihāridhīraṃ;
Abhibhuyya sabbāni parissayāni, careyya tenattamano satīmā.
No ce labhetha nipakaṃ sahāyaṃ, saddhiṃ caraṃ sādhuvihāridhīraṃ;
Rājāva raṭṭhaṃ vijitaṃ pahāya, eko care mātaṅgaraññeva nāgo.
Ekassa caritaṃ seyyo, natthi bāle sahāyatā;
Eko care na ca pāpāni kayirā, appossukko mātaṅgaraññeva nāgo.
Atthamhi jātamhi sukhā sahāyā, tuṭṭhī sukhā yā itarītarena;
Puññaṃ sukhaṃ jīvitasaṅkhayamhi, sabbassa dukkhassa sukhaṃ pahānaṃ.
Sukhā matteyyatā loke, atho petteyyatā sukhā;
Sukhā sāmaññatā loke, atho brahmaññatā sukhā.
Sukhaṃ yāva jarā sīlaṃ, sukhā saddhā patiṭṭhitā;
Sukho paññāya paṭilābho, pāpānaṃ akaraṇaṃ sukhaṃ.
Nāgavaggo tevīsatimo niṭṭhito.
