6. Paṇṇakajātaka

1 “Paṇṇakaṁ tikhiṇadhāraṁ,

Asiṁ sampannapāyinaṁ;

Parisāyaṁ puriso gilati,

Kiṁ dukkarataraṁ tato;

Yadaññaṁ dukkaraṁ ṭhānaṁ,

Taṁ me akkhāhi pucchito”.

2 “Gileyya puriso lobhā,

asiṁ sampannapāyinaṁ;

Yo ca vajjā dadāmīti,

taṁ dukkarataraṁ tato;

Sabbaññaṁ sukaraṁ ṭhānaṁ,

evaṁ jānāhi maddava”.

3 “Byākāsi āyuro pañhaṁ,

atthaṁ dhammassa kovido;

Pukkusaṁ dāni pucchāmi,

Yadaññaṁ dukkaraṁ ṭhānaṁ,

taṁ me akkhāhi pucchito”.

4 “Na vācamupajīvanti,

taṁ dukkarataraṁ tato;

Sabbaññaṁ sukaraṁ ṭhānaṁ,

evaṁ jānāhi maddava”.

5 “Byākāsi pukkuso pañhaṁ,

atthaṁ dhammassa kovido;

Senakaṁ dāni pucchāmi,

kiṁ dukkarataraṁ tato;

Yadaññaṁ dukkaraṁ ṭhānaṁ,

taṁ me akkhāhi pucchito”.

6 “Dadeyya puriso dānaṁ,

appaṁ vā yadi vā bahuṁ;

Yo ca datvā nānutappe,

taṁ dukkarataraṁ tato;

Sabbaññaṁ sukaraṁ ṭhānaṁ,

evaṁ jānāhi maddava”.

7 “Byākāsi āyuro pañhaṁ,
