4. Daḷhadhammajātaka

1 “Ahañce daḷhadhammassa,

vahantī nābhirādhayiṁ;

Dharantī urasi sallaṁ,

yuddhe vikkantacārinī.

2 Nūna rājā na jānāti,

mama vikkamaporisaṁ;

Saṅgāme sukatantāni,

dūtavippahitāni ca.

3 Sā nūnāhaṁ marissāmi,

abandhu aparāyinī;

Tadā hi kumbhakārassa,

dinnā chakaṇahārikā”.

4 “Yāvatāsīsatī poso,

tāvadeva pavīṇati;

Atthāpāye jahanti naṁ,

oṭṭhibyādhiṁva khattiyo.

5 Yo pubbe katakalyāṇo,

katattho nāvabujjhati;

Atthā tassa palujjanti,

ye honti abhipatthitā.

6 Yo pubbe katakalyāṇo,

katattho manubujjhati;

Atthā tassa pavaḍḍhanti,

ye honti abhipatthitā.

7 Taṁ vo vadāmi bhaddante,

yāvantettha samāgatā;

Sabbe kataññuno hotha,

ciraṁ saggamhi ṭhassathā”ti.

8 Daḷhadhammajātakaṁ catutthaṁ.
