3. Venasākhajātaka

1 “Nayidaṁ niccaṁ bhavitabbaṁ brahmadatta,

Khemaṁ subhikkhaṁ sukhatā ca kāye;

Atthaccaye mā ahu sampamūḷho,

Bhinnaplavo sāgarasseva majjhe.

2 Yāni karoti puriso,

tāni attani passati;

Kalyāṇakārī kalyāṇaṁ,

pāpakārī ca pāpakaṁ;

Yādisaṁ vapate bījaṁ,

tādisaṁ harate phalaṁ”.

3 “Idaṁ tadācariyavaco,

pārāsariyo yadabravi;

Mā su tvaṁ akari pāpaṁ,

yaṁ tvaṁ pacchā kataṁ tape.

4 Ayameva so piṅgiya venasākho,

Yamhi ghātayiṁ khattiyānaṁ sahassaṁ;

Alaṅkate candanasārānulitte,

Tameva dukkhaṁ paccāgataṁ mamaṁ.

5 Sāmā ca kho candanalittagattā,

Laṭṭhīva sobhañjanakassa uggatā;

Adisvā kālaṁ karissāmi ubbariṁ,

Taṁ me ito dukkhataraṁ bhavissatī”ti.

6 Venasākhajātakaṁ tatiyaṁ.
