7. Sattaputtakhādapetivatthu

1 “Naggā dubbaṇṇarūpāsi,

duggandhā pūti vāyasi;

Makkhikāhi parikiṇṇā,

kā nu tvaṁ idha tiṭṭhasī”ti.

2 “Ahaṁ bhadante petīmhi,

duggatā yamalokikā;

Pāpakammaṁ karitvāna,

petalokaṁ ito gatā.

3 Kālena satta puttāni,

sāyaṁ satta punāpare;

Vijāyitvāna khādāmi,

tepi nā honti me alaṁ.

4 Pariḍayhati dhūmāyati,

khudāya hadayaṁ mama;

Nibbutiṁ nādhigacchāmi,

aggidaḍḍhāva ātape”ti.

5 “Kiṁ nu kāyena vācāya,

manasā dukkaṭaṁ kataṁ;

Kissa kammavipākena,

puttamaṁsāni khādasī”ti.

6 “Ahū mayhaṁ duve puttā,

ubho sampattayobbanā;

Sāhaṁ puttabalūpetā,

sāmikaṁ atimaññisaṁ.

7 Tato me sāmiko kuddho,

sapatiṁ mayhamānayi;

Sā ca gabbhaṁ alabhittha,

tassā pāpaṁ acetayiṁ.

8 Sāhaṁ paduṭṭhamanasā,

akariṁ gabbhapātanaṁ;

Tassā temāsiko gabbho,

pūtilohitako pati.

9 Tadassā mātā kupitā,

mayhaṁ ñātī samānayi;

Sapathañca maṁ kāresi,

paribhāsāpayī ca maṁ.

10 Sāhaṁ ghorañca sapathaṁ,

musāvādaṁ abhāsisaṁ;

‘Puttamaṁsāni khādāmi,

sace taṁ pakataṁ mayā’.

11 Tassa kammassa vipākena,

musāvādassa cūbhayaṁ;

Puttamaṁsāni khādāmi,

pubbalohitamakkhitā”ti.

12 Sattaputtakhādapetivatthu sattamaṁ.
