9. Dutiyakuṇḍalīvimānavatthu

1 “Alaṅkato malyadharo suvattho,

Sukuṇḍalī kappitakesamassu;

Āmuttahatthābharaṇo yasassī,

Dibbe vimānamhi yathāpi candimā.

2 Dibbā ca vīṇā pavadanti vagguṁ,

Aṭṭhaṭṭhakā sikkhitā sādhurūpā;

Dibbā ca kaññā tidasacarā uḷārā,

Naccanti gāyanti pamodayanti.

3 Deviddhipattosi mahānubhāvo,

Manussabhūto kimakāsi puññaṁ;

Kenāsi evaṁ jalitānubhāvo,

Vaṇṇo ca te sabbadisā pabhāsatī”ti.

4 So devaputto attamano,

…pe…

yassa kammassidaṁ phalaṁ.

5 “Ahaṁ manussesu manussabhūto,

Disvāna samaṇe sādhurūpe;

Sampannavijjācaraṇe yasassī,

Bahussute sīlavante pasanne;

Annañca pānañca pasannacitto,

Sakkacca dānaṁ vipulaṁ adāsiṁ.

6 Tena metādiso vaṇṇo,

…pe…

Vaṇṇo ca me sabbadisā pabhāsatī”ti.

7 Dutiyakuṇḍalīvimānaṁ navamaṁ.
