1. Catudvārajātaka

1 “Catudvāramidaṁ nagaraṁ,

āyasaṁ daḷhapākāraṁ;

Oruddhapaṭiruddhosmi,

kiṁ pāpaṁ pakataṁ mayā”.

2 “Sabbe apihitā dvārā,

oruddhosmi yathā dijo;

Kimādhikaraṇaṁ yakkha,

cakkābhinihato ahaṁ.

3 Laddhā satasahassāni,

atirekāni vīsati;

Anukampakānaṁ ñātīnaṁ,

vacanaṁ samma nākari.

4 Laṅghiṁ samuddaṁ pakkhandi,

sāgaraṁ appasiddhikaṁ;

Catubbhi aṭṭhajjhagamā,

aṭṭhāhipi ca soḷasa.

5 Soḷasāhi ca bāttiṁsa,

atricchaṁ cakkamāsado;

Icchāhatassa posassa,

cakkaṁ bhamati matthake.

6 Uparivisālā duppūrā,

icchā visaṭagāminī;

Ye ca taṁ anugijjhanti,

te honti cakkadhārino.

7 Bahubhaṇḍaṁ avahāya,

maggaṁ appaṭivekkhiya;

Yesañcetaṁ asaṅkhātaṁ,

te honti cakkadhārino.

8 Kammaṁ samekkhe vipulañca bhogaṁ,

Icchaṁ na seveyya anatthasaṁhitaṁ;

Kareyya vākyaṁ anukampakānaṁ,

Taṁ tādisaṁ nātivatteyya cakkaṁ”.

9 “Kīvaciraṁ nu me yakkha,

cakkaṁ sirasi ṭhassati;

Kati vassasahassāni,

taṁ me akkhāhi pucchito”.

10 “Atisaro paccasaro,

mittavinda suṇohi me;

Cakkaṁ te sirasi māviddhaṁ,

na taṁ jīvaṁ pamokkhasī”ti.

11 Catudvārajātakaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
