2. Phandanajātaka

1 “Kuṭhārihattho puriso,

vanamogayha tiṭṭhasi;

Puṭṭho me samma akkhāhi,

kiṁ dāruṁ chetumicchasi”.

2 “Isso vanāni carasi,

samāni visamāni ca;

Puṭṭho me samma akkhāhi,

kiṁ dāruṁ nemiyā daḷhaṁ”.

3 “Neva sālo na khadiro,

nāssakaṇṇo kuto dhavo;

Rukkho ca phandano nāma,

taṁ dāruṁ nemiyā daḷhaṁ”.

4 “Kīdisānissa pattāni,

khandho vā pana kīdiso;

Puṭṭho me samma akkhāhi,

yathā jānemu phandanaṁ”.

5 “Yassa sākhā palambanti,

namanti na ca bhañjare;

So rukkho phandano nāma,

yassa mūle ahaṁ ṭhito.

6 Arānaṁ cakkanābhīnaṁ,

īsānemirathassa ca;

Sabbassa te kammaniyo,

ayaṁ hessati phandano”.

7 “Iti phandanarukkhopi,

tāvade ajjhabhāsatha;

Mayhampi vacanaṁ atthi,

bhāradvāja suṇohi me.

8 Issassa upakkhandhamhā,

Ukkacca caturaṅgulaṁ;

Tena nemiṁ pasāresi,

Evaṁ daḷhataraṁ siyā.

9 Iti phandanarukkhopi,

veraṁ appesi tāvade;

Jātānañca ajātānaṁ,

issānaṁ dukkhamāvahi.

10 Iccevaṁ phandano issaṁ,

isso ca pana phandanaṁ;

Aññamaññaṁ vivādena,

aññamaññamaghātayuṁ.

11 Evameva manussānaṁ,

vivādo yattha jāyati;

Mayūranaccaṁ naccanti,

yathā te issaphandanā.

12 Taṁ vo vadāmi bhaddaṁ vo,

yāvantettha samāgatā;

Sammodatha mā vivadatha,

mā hotha issaphandanā.

13 Sāmaggimeva sikkhetha,

buddhehetaṁ pasaṁsitaṁ;

Sāmaggirato dhammaṭṭho,

yogakkhemā na dhaṁsatī”ti.

14 Phandanajātakaṁ dutiyaṁ.
