22.1.3 Suvaṇṇasāmajātaka

“Ko nu maṃ usunā vijjhi,
pamattaṃ udahārakaṃ;
Khattiyo brāhmaṇo vesso,
ko maṃ viddhā nilīyasi.

Na me maṃsāni khajjāni,
Cammenattho na vijjati;
Atha kena nu vaṇṇena,
Viddheyyaṃ maṃ amaññatha.

Ko vā tvaṃ kassa vā putto,
kathaṃ jānemu taṃ mayaṃ;
Puṭṭho me samma akkhāhi,
kiṃ maṃ viddhā nilīyasi”.

“Rājāhamasmi kāsīnaṃ,
pīḷiyakkhoti maṃ vidū;
Lobhā raṭṭhaṃ pahitvāna,
migamesaṃ carāmahaṃ.

Issatthe casmi kusalo,
daḷhadhammoti vissuto;
Nāgopi me na mucceyya,
āgato usupātanaṃ.

Ko vā tvaṃ kassa vā putto,
kathaṃ jānemu taṃ mayaṃ;
Pituno attano cāpi,
nāmagottaṃ pavedaya”.

“Nesādaputto bhaddante,
sāmo iti maṃ ñātayo;
Āmantayiṃsu jīvantaṃ,
svajjevāhaṃ gato saye.

Viddhosmi puthusallena,
savisena yathā migo;
Sakamhi lohite rāja,
passa semi paripluto.

Paṭivāmagataṃ sallaṃ,
passa dhimhāmi lohitaṃ;
Āturo tyānupucchāmi,
kiṃ maṃ viddhā nilīyasi.

Ajinamhi haññate dīpi,
nāgo dantehi haññate;
Atha kena nu vaṇṇena,
viddheyyaṃ maṃ amaññatha”.

“Migo upaṭṭhito āsi,
āgato usupātanaṃ;
Taṃ disvā ubbijī sāma,
tena kodho mamāvisi”.

“Yato sarāmi attānaṃ,
yato pattosmi viññutaṃ;
Na maṃ migā uttasanti,
araññe sāpadānipi.

Yato nidhiṃ parihariṃ,
yato pattosmi yobbanaṃ;
Na maṃ migā uttasanti,
araññe sāpadānipi.

Bhīrū kimpurisā rāja,
pabbate gandhamādane;
Sammodamānā gacchāma,
pabbatāni vanāni ca.

Na maṃ migā uttasanti,
araññe sāpadānipi;
Atha kena nu vaṇṇena,
utrāsanti migā mamaṃ”.

“Na taṃ tasa migo sāma,
kiṃ tāhaṃ alikaṃ bhaṇe;
Kodhalobhābhibhūtāhaṃ,
usuṃ te taṃ avassajiṃ.

Kuto nu sāma āgamma,
kassa vā pahito tuvaṃ;
Udahāro nadiṃ gaccha,
āgato migasammataṃ”.

“Andhā mātāpitā mayhaṃ,
te bharāmi brahāvane;
Tesāhaṃ udakāhāro,
āgato migasammataṃ.

Atthi nesaṃ usāmattaṃ,
atha sāhassa jīvitaṃ;
Udakassa alābhena,
maññe andhā marissare.

Na me idaṃ tathā dukkhaṃ,
labbhā hi pumunā idaṃ;
Yañca ammaṃ na passāmi,
taṃ me dukkhataraṃ ito.

Na me idaṃ tathā dukkhaṃ,
labbhā hi pumunā idaṃ;
Yañca tātaṃ na passāmi,
taṃ me dukkhataraṃ ito.

Sā nūna kapaṇā ammā,
cirarattāya rucchati;
Aḍḍharatte va ratte vā,
nadīva avasucchati.

So nūna kapaṇo tāto,
cirarattāya rucchati;
Aḍḍharatte va ratte vā,
nadīva avasucchati.

Uṭṭhānapādacariyāya,

Sāma tāta vilapantā,
hiṇḍissanti brahāvane.

Idampi dutiyaṃ sallaṃ,
kampeti hadayaṃ mamaṃ;
Yañca andhe na passāmi,
maññe hissāmi jīvitaṃ”.

“Mā bāḷhaṃ paridevesi,
sāma kalyāṇadassana;
Ahaṃ kammakaro hutvā,
bharissaṃ te brahāvane.

Issatthe casmi kusalo,
daḷhadhammoti vissuto;
Ahaṃ kammakaro hutvā,
bharissaṃ te brahāvane.

Migānaṃ vighāsamanvesaṃ,
Vanamūlaphalāni ca;
Ahaṃ kammakaro hutvā,
Bharissaṃ te brahāvane.

Katamaṃ taṃ vanaṃ sāma,
yattha mātāpitā tava;
Ahaṃ te tathā bharissaṃ,
yathā te abharī tuvaṃ”.

“Ayaṃ ekapadī rāja,
yoyaṃ ussīsake mama;
Ito gantvā aḍḍhakosaṃ,
tattha nesaṃ agārakaṃ;
Yattha mātāpitā mayhaṃ,
te bharassu ito gato.

Namo te kāsirājatthu,
namo te kāsivaḍḍhana;
Andhā mātāpitā mayhaṃ,

Añjaliṃ te paggaṇhāmi,
kāsirāja namatthu te;
Mātaraṃ pitaraṃ mayhaṃ,
vutto vajjāsi vandanaṃ”.

Idaṃ vatvāna so sāmo,
yuvā kalyāṇadassano;
Mucchito visavegena,
visaññī samapajjatha.

Sa rājā paridevesi,
bahuṃ kāruññasañhitaṃ;
“Ajarāmarohaṃ āsiṃ,
ajjetaṃ ñāmi no pure;
Sāmaṃ kālaṅkataṃ disvā,
natthi maccussa nāgamo.

Yassu maṃ paṭimanteti,
savisena samappito;
Svajja evaṃ gate kāle,
na kiñci mabhibhāsati.

Nirayaṃ nūna gacchāmi,
ettha me natthi saṃsayo;
Tadā hi pakataṃ pāpaṃ,
cirarattāya kibbisaṃ.

Bhavanti tassa vattāro,
gāme kibbisakārako;
Araññe nimmanussamhi,
ko maṃ vattumarahati.

Sārayanti hi kammāni,
gāme saṅgaccha māṇavā;
Araññe nimmanussamhi,
ko nu maṃ sārayissati”.

Sā devatā antarahitā,
pabbate gandhamādane;
Raññova anukampāya,
imā gāthā abhāsatha.

“Āguṃ kira mahārāja,
akari kamma dukkaṭaṃ;
Adūsakā pitāputtā,
tayo ekūsunā hatā.

Ehi taṃ anusikkhāmi,
yathā te sugatī siyā;
Dhammenandhe vane posa,
maññehaṃ sugatī tayā”.

Sa rājā paridevitvā,
bahuṃ kāruññasañhitaṃ;
Udakakumbhamādāya,
pakkāmi dakkhiṇāmukho.

“Kassa nu eso padasaddo,
manussasseva āgato;
Neso sāmassa nigghoso,
ko nu tvamasi mārisa.

Santañhi sāmo vajati,
santaṃ pādāni neyati;
Neso sāmassa nigghoso,
ko nu tvamasi mārisa”.

“Rājāhamasmi kāsīnaṃ,

Lobhā raṭṭhaṃ pahitvāna,
migamesaṃ carāmahaṃ.

Issatthe casmi kusalo,

Nāgopi me na mucceyya,

“Svāgataṃ te mahārāja,

Tindukāni piyālāni,

Phalāni khuddakappāni,

Idampi pānīyaṃ sītaṃ,

“Nālaṃ andhā vane daṭṭhuṃ,
ko nu vo phalamāhari;
Anandhassevayaṃ sammā,
nivāpo mayha khāyati”.

“Daharo yuvā nātibrahā,
sāmo kalyāṇadassano;
Dīghassa kesā asitā,
atho sūnaggavellitā.

So have phalamāharitvā,
ito ādāya kamaṇḍaluṃ;
Nadiṃ gato udahāro,
maññe na dūramāgato”.

“Ahaṃ taṃ avadhiṃ sāmaṃ,
yo tuyhaṃ paricārako;
Yaṃ kumāraṃ pavedetha,
sāmaṃ kalyāṇadassanaṃ.

Dīghassa kesā asitā,
atho sūnaggavellitā;
Tesu lohitalittesu,
seti sāmo mayā hato”.

“Kena dukūla mantesi,
hato sāmoti vādinā;
Hato sāmoti sutvāna,
hadayaṃ me pavedhati.

Assatthasseva taruṇaṃ,
pavāḷaṃ māluteritaṃ;
Hato sāmoti sutvāna,

“Pārike kāsirājāyaṃ,
so sāmaṃ migasammate;
Kodhasā usunā vijjhi,
tassa mā pāpamicchimhā”.

“Kicchā laddho piyo putto,
yo andhe abharī vane;
Taṃ ekaputtaṃ ghātimhi,
kathaṃ cittaṃ na kopaye”.

“Kicchā laddho piyo putto,

Taṃ ekaputtaṃ ghātimhi,

“Mā bāḷhaṃ paridevetha,

Ahaṃ kammakaro hutvā,

Issatthe casmi kusalo,

Migānaṃ vighāsamanvesaṃ,

Ahaṃ kammakaro hutvā,

“Nesa dhammo mahārāja,
netaṃ amhesu kappati;
Rājā tvamasi amhākaṃ,
pāde vandāma te mayaṃ”.

“Dhammaṃ nesādā bhaṇatha,
katā apacitī tayā;
Pitā tvamasi amhākaṃ,
mātā tvamasi pārike”.

“Namo te kāsirājatthu,

Añjaliṃ te paggaṇhāma,
yāva sāmānupāpaya.

Tassa pāde samajjantā,

“Yadi tattha sahassāni,

Nevamhākaṃ bhayaṃ koci,
