8. Tacasārajātaka

1 “Amittahatthatthagatā,

tacasārasamappitā;

Pasannamukhavaṇṇāttha,

kasmā tumhe na socatha”.

2 “Na socanāya paridevanāya,

Atthova labbho api appakopi;

Socantamenaṁ dukhitaṁ viditvā,

Paccatthikā attamanā bhavanti.

3 Yato ca kho paṇḍito āpadāsu,

Na vedhatī atthavinicchayaññū;

Paccatthikāssa dukhitā bhavanti,

Disvā mukhaṁ avikāraṁ purāṇaṁ.

4 Jappena mantena subhāsitena,

Anuppadānena paveṇiyā vā;

Yathā yathā yattha labhetha atthaṁ,

Tathā tathā tattha parakkameyya.

5 Yato ca jāneyya alabbhaneyyo,

Mayā va aññena vā esa attho;

Asocamāno adhivāsayeyya,

Kammaṁ daḷhaṁ kinti karomi dānī”ti.

6 Tacasārajātakaṁ aṭṭhamaṁ.
