11. Maṭṭhakuṇḍalījātaka

1 “Alaṅkato maṭṭhakuṇḍalī,

Māladhārī haricandanussado;

Bāhā paggayha kandasi,

Vanamajjhe kiṁ dukkhito tuvaṁ”.

2 “Sovaṇṇamayo pabhassaro,

Uppanno rathapañjaro mama;

Tassa cakkayugaṁ na vindāmi,

Tena dukkhena jahāmi jīvitaṁ”.

3 “Sovaṇṇamayaṁ maṇīmayaṁ,

Lohamayaṁ atha rūpiyāmayaṁ;

Pāvada rathaṁ karissāmi te,

Cakkayugaṁ paṭipādayāmi taṁ”.

4 “So māṇavo tassa pāvadi,

Candasūriyā ubhayettha bhātaro;

Sovaṇṇamayo ratho mama,

Tena cakkayugena sobhati”.

5 “Bālo kho tvaṁsi māṇava,

Yo tvaṁ patthayase apatthiyaṁ;

Maññāmi tuvaṁ marissasi,

Na hi tvaṁ lacchasi candasūriye”.

6 “Gamanāgamanampi dissati,

Vaṇṇadhātu ubhayettha vīthiyo;

Peto pana neva dissati,

Ko nu kho kandataṁ bālyataro”.

7 “Saccaṁ kho vadesi māṇava,

Ahameva kandataṁ bālyataro;

Candaṁ viya dārako rudaṁ,

Petaṁ kālakatābhipatthaye.

8 Ādittaṁ vata maṁ santaṁ,

ghatasittaṁva pāvakaṁ;

Vārinā viya osiñcaṁ,

sabbaṁ nibbāpaye daraṁ.

9 Abbahī vata me sallaṁ,

yamāsi hadayassitaṁ;

Yo me sokaparetassa,

puttasokaṁ apānudi.

10 Sohaṁ abbūḷhasallosmi,

vītasoko anāvilo;

Na socāmi na rodāmi,

tava sutvāna māṇavā”ti.

11 Maṭṭhakuṇḍalījātakaṁ ekādasamaṁ.
