5. Bālavaggo
Dīghā jāgarato ratti, dīghaṃ santassa yojanaṃ;
Dīgho bālānaṃ saṃsāro, saddhammaṃ avijānataṃ.
Carañce nādhigaccheyya, seyyaṃ sadisamattano;
Ekacariyaṃ [ekacariyaṃ (ka.)] daḷhaṃ kayirā, natthi bāle sahāyatā.
Puttā matthi dhanammatthi [puttamatthi dhanamatthi (ka.)], iti bālo vihaññati;
Attā hi [attāpi (?)] attano natthi, kuto puttā kuto dhanaṃ.
Yo bālo maññati bālyaṃ, paṇḍito vāpi tena so;
Bālo ca paṇḍitamānī, sa ve ‘‘bālo’’ti vuccati.
Yāvajīvampi ce bālo, paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati;
Na so dhammaṃ vijānāti, dabbī sūparasaṃ yathā.
Muhuttamapi ce viññū, paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati;
Khippaṃ dhammaṃ vijānāti, jivhā sūparasaṃ yathā.
Caranti bālā dummedhā, amitteneva attanā;
Karontā pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, yaṃ hoti kaṭukapphalaṃ.
Na taṃ kammaṃ kataṃ sādhu, yaṃ katvā anutappati;
Yassa assumukho rodaṃ, vipākaṃ paṭisevati.
Tañca kammaṃ kataṃ sādhu, yaṃ katvā nānutappati;
Yassa patīto sumano, vipākaṃ paṭisevati.
Madhuvā [madhuṃ vā (dī. ni. ṭīkā 1)] maññati bālo, yāva pāpaṃ na paccati;
Yadā ca paccati pāpaṃ, bālo [atha bālo (sī. syā.) atha (?)] dukkhaṃ nigacchati.
Māse māse kusaggena, bālo bhuñjeyya bhojanaṃ;
Na so saṅkhātadhammānaṃ [saṅkhatadhammānaṃ (sī. pī. ka.)], kalaṃ agghati soḷasiṃ.
Na hi pāpaṃ kataṃ kammaṃ, sajju khīraṃva muccati;
Ḍahantaṃ bālamanveti, bhasmacchannova [bhasmāchannova (sī. pī. ka.)] pāvako.
Yāvadeva anatthāya, ñattaṃ [ñātaṃ (?)] bālassa jāyati;
Hanti bālassa sukkaṃsaṃ, muddhamassa vipātayaṃ.
Asantaṃ bhāvanamiccheyya [asantaṃ bhāvamiccheyya (syā.), asantabhāvanamiccheyya (ka.)], purekkhārañca bhikkhusu;
Āvāsesu ca issariyaṃ, pūjā parakulesu ca.
Mameva kata maññantu, gihīpabbajitā ubho;
Mamevātivasā assu, kiccākiccesu kismici;
Iti bālassa saṅkappo, icchā māno ca vaḍḍhati.
Aññā hi lābhūpanisā, aññā nibbānagāminī;
Evametaṃ abhiññāya, bhikkhu buddhassa sāvako;
Sakkāraṃ nābhinandeyya, vivekamanubrūhaye.
Bālavaggo pañcamo niṭṭhito.
