3. Mūsikajātaka

1 “Kuhiṁ gatā kattha gatā,

iti lālappatī jano;

Ahameveko jānāmi,

udapāne mūsikā hatā.

2 Yañcetaṁ iti cīti ca,

gadrabhova nivattasi;

Udapāne mūsikaṁ hantvā,

yavaṁ bhakkhetumicchasi.

3 Daharo cāsi dummedha,

paṭhamuppattiko susu;

Dīghañcetaṁ samāsajja,

na te dassāmi jīvitaṁ.

4 Nāntalikkhabhavanena,

nāṅgaputtapinena vā;

Puttena hi patthayito,

silokehi pamocito.

5 Sabbaṁ sutamadhīyetha,

hīnamukkaṭṭhamajjhimaṁ;

Sabbassa atthaṁ jāneyya,

na ca sabbaṁ payojaye;

Hoti tādisako kālo,

yattha atthāvahaṁ sutan”ti.

6 Mūsikajātakaṁ tatiyaṁ.
