5. Kapotajātaka

1 “Idāni khomhi sukhito arogo,

Nikkaṇṭako nippatito kapoto;

Kāhāmi dānī hadayassa tuṭṭhiṁ,

Tathāhimaṁ maṁsasākaṁ baleti”.

2 “Kāyaṁ balākā sikhinī,

corī laṅghipitāmahā;

Oraṁ balāke āgaccha,

caṇḍo me vāyaso sakhā”.

3 “Alañhi te jagghitāye,

Mamaṁ disvāna edisaṁ;

Vilūnaṁ sūdaputtena,

Piṭṭhamaṇḍena makkhitaṁ”.

4 “Sunhāto suvilittosi,

annapānena tappito;

Kaṇṭhe ca te veḷuriyo,

agamā nu kajaṅgalaṁ”.

5 “Mā te mitto amitto vā,

agamāsi kajaṅgalaṁ;

Piñchāni tattha lāyitvā,

kaṇṭhe bandhanti vaṭṭanaṁ”.

6 “Punapāpajjasī samma,

Sīlañhi tava tādisaṁ;

Na hi mānusakā bhogā,

Subhuñjā honti pakkhinā”ti.

7 Kapotajātakaṁ pañcamaṁ.

Aḍḍhavaggo tatiyo.

8 Tassuddānaṁ

9 Atha vaṇṇa sasīla hiri labhate,

Sumukhā visa sāḷiyamittavaro;

Atha cakka palāsa sarāja sato,

Yava bāla kapotaka pannarasāti.

10 Atha vagguddānaṁ

11 Jīnañca vaṇṇaṁ asamaṁvaguppari,

Sudesitā jātakanti santi vīsati;

Mahesino brahmacarittamuttam-

avoca gāthā atthavatī subyañjanāti.

12 Pañcakanipātaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
