5. Maṇisūkarajātaka

1 “Dariyā satta vassāni,

tiṁsamattā vasāmase;

Haññāma maṇino ābhaṁ,

iti no mantanaṁ ahu.

2 Yāvatā maṇiṁ ghaṁsāma,

bhiyyo vodāyate maṇi;

Idañca dāni pucchāma,

kiṁ kiccaṁ idha maññasi”.

3 “Ayaṁ maṇi veḷūriyo,

akāco vimalo subho;

Nāssa sakkā siriṁ hantuṁ,

apakkamatha sūkarā”ti.

4 Maṇisūkarajātakaṁ pañcamaṁ.
