7. Lomasakassapajātaka

1 “Assa indasamo rāja,

accantaṁ ajarāmaro;

Sace tvaṁ yaññaṁ yājeyya,

isiṁ lomasakassapaṁ”.

2 “Sasamuddapariyāyaṁ,

mahiṁ sāgarakuṇḍalaṁ;

Na icche saha nindāya,

evaṁ seyya vijānahi.

3 Dhiratthu taṁ yasalābhaṁ,

dhanalābhañca brāhmaṇa;

Yā vutti vinipātena,

adhammacaraṇena vā.

4 Api ce pattamādāya,

anagāro paribbaje;

Sāyeva jīvikā seyyo,

yā cādhammena esanā.

5 Api ce pattamādāya,

anagāro paribbaje;

Aññaṁ ahiṁsayaṁ loke,

api rajjena taṁ varaṁ”.

6 “Balaṁ cando balaṁ suriyo,

balaṁ samaṇabrāhmaṇā;

Balaṁ velā samuddassa,

balātibalamitthiyo.

7 Yathā uggatapaṁ santaṁ,

isiṁ lomasakassapaṁ;

Pitu atthā candavatī,

vājapeyyaṁ ayājayi”.

8 “Taṁ lobhapakataṁ kammaṁ,

Kaṭukaṁ kāmahetukaṁ;

Tassa mūlaṁ gavesissaṁ,

Checchaṁ rāgaṁ sabandhanaṁ.

9 Dhiratthu kāme subahūpi loke,

Tapova seyyo kāmaguṇehi rāja;

Tapo karissāmi pahāya kāme,

Taveva raṭṭhaṁ candavatī ca hotū”ti.

10 Lomasakassapajātakaṁ sattamaṁ.
