21.1.5 Mahāsutasomajātaka

“Kasmā tuvaṃ rasaka edisāni,
Karosi kammāni sudāruṇāni;
Hanāsi itthī purise ca mūḷho,
Maṃsassa hetu adu dhanassa kāraṇā”.

“Na attahetū na dhanassa kāraṇā,
Na puttadārassa sahāyañātinaṃ;
Bhattā ca me bhagavā bhūmipālo,
So khādati maṃsaṃ bhadantedisaṃ”.

“Sace tuvaṃ bhatturatthe payutto,
Karosi kammāni sudāruṇāni;
Pātova antepuraṃ pāpuṇitvā,
Lapeyyāsi me rājino sammukhe taṃ”.

“Tathā karissāmi ahaṃ bhadante,
Yathā tuvaṃ bhāsasi kāḷahatthi;
Pātova antepuraṃ pāpuṇitvā,
Vakkhāmi te rājino sammukhe taṃ”.

Tato ratyā vivasāne,

Upasaṅkamma rājānaṃ,

“Saccaṃ kira mahārāja,
rasako pesito tayā;
Hanati itthipurise,
tuvaṃ maṃsāni khādasi”.

“Evameva tathā kāḷa,
rasako pesito mayā;
Mama atthaṃ karontassa,

“Ānando sabbamacchānaṃ,
khāditvā rasagiddhimā;
Parikkhīṇāya parisāya,

Evaṃ pamatto rasagārave ratto,
Bālo yadī āyati nāvabujjhati;
Vidhamma putte caji ñātake ca,
Parivattiya attānaññeva khādati.

Idaṃ te sutvāna vigetu chando,
Mā bhakkhayī rāja manussamaṃsaṃ;
Mā tvaṃ imaṃ kevalaṃ vārijova,
Dvipadādhipa suññamakāsi raṭṭhaṃ”.

“Sujāto nāma nāmena,
oraso tassa atrajo;
Jambupesimaladdhāna,
mato so tassa saṅkhaye.

Evameva ahaṃ kāḷa,
bhutvā bhakkhaṃ rasuttamaṃ;
Aladdhā mānusaṃ maṃsaṃ,

“Māṇava abhirūposi,

“Rasānaṃ aññataraṃ etaṃ,
kasmā maṃ tvaṃ nivāraye;
Sohaṃ tattha gamissāmi,

Sovāhaṃ nippatissāmi,

Yassa me dassanena tvaṃ,

“Addhā aññepi dāyāde,

Tvañca jamma vinassassu,
yattha pattaṃ na taṃ suṇe”.

“Evameva tuvaṃ rāja,
dvipadinda suṇohi me;
Pabbājessanti taṃ raṭṭhā,
soṇḍaṃ māṇavakaṃ yathā”.

“Sujāto nāma nāmena,
bhāvitattāna sāvako;
Accharaṃ kāmayantova,
na so bhuñji na so pivi.

Kusaggenudakamādāya,
samudde udakaṃ mine;
Evaṃ mānusakā kāmā,
dibbakāmāna santike.

Evameva ahaṃ kāḷa,

Aladdhā mānusaṃ maṃsaṃ,

“Yathāpi te dhataraṭṭhā,

Abhuttaparibhogena,
sabbe abbhatthataṃ gatā.

Evameva tuvaṃ rāja,

Abhakkhaṃ rāja bhakkhesi,

“Tiṭṭhāhīti mayā vutto,
So tvaṃ gacchasi pammukho;
Aṭṭhito tvaṃ ṭhitomhīti,
Lapasi brahmacārini;
Idaṃ te samaṇāyuttaṃ,
Asiñca me maññasi kaṅkapattaṃ”.

“Ṭhitohamasmī sadhammesu rāja,
Na nāmagottaṃ parivattayāmi;
Corañca loke aṭhitaṃ vadanti,
Āpāyikaṃ nerayikaṃ ito cutaṃ.

Sace tvaṃ saddahasi rāja,

“Kismiṃ nu raṭṭhe tava jātibhūmi,
Atha kena atthena idhānupatto;
Akkhāhi me brāhmaṇa etamatthaṃ,
Kimicchasī demi tayajja patthitaṃ”.

“Gāthā catasso dharaṇīmahissara,

“Na ve rudanti matimanto sapaññā,
Bahussutā ye bahuṭhānacintino;
Dīpañhi etaṃ paramaṃ narānaṃ,
Yaṃ paṇḍitā sokanudā bhavanti.

Attānaṃ ñātī udāhu puttadāraṃ,
Dhaññaṃ dhanaṃ rajataṃ jātarūpaṃ;
Kimeva tvaṃ sutasomānutappe,
Korabyaseṭṭha vacanaṃ suṇoma tetaṃ”.

“Nevāhamattānamanutthunāmi,
Na puttadāraṃ na dhanaṃ na raṭṭhaṃ;
Satañca dhammo carito purāṇo,
Taṃ saṅkaraṃ brāhmaṇassānutappe.

Kato mayā saṅkaro brāhmaṇena,
Raṭṭhe sake issariye ṭhitena;
Taṃ saṅkaraṃ brāhmaṇasappadāya,

“Nevāhametaṃ abhisaddahāmi,
Sukhī naro maccumukhā pamutto;
Amittahatthaṃ punarāvajeyya,
Korabyaseṭṭha na hi maṃ upesi.

Mutto tuvaṃ porisādassa hatthā,
Gantvā sakaṃ mandiraṃ kāmakāmī;
Madhuraṃ piyaṃ jīvitaṃ laddha rāja,
Kuto tuvaṃ ehisi me sakāsaṃ”.

“Mataṃ vareyya parisuddhasīlo,
Na jīvitaṃ garahito pāpadhammo;
Na hi taṃ naraṃ tāyati duggatīhi,
Yassāpi hetu alikaṃ bhaṇeyya.

Sacepi vāto girimāvaheyya,
Cando ca suriyo ca chamā pateyyuṃ;

Asiñca sattiñca parāmasāmi,
Sapathampi te samma ahaṃ karomi;
Tayā pamutto anaṇo bhavitvā,

“Yo me kato saṅgaro brāhmaṇena,

Mutto ca so porisādassa hatthā,
Gantvāna taṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavoca;
“Suṇoma gāthāyo satārahāyo,
Yā me sutā assu hitāya brahme”.

“Sakideva sutasoma,

“Sahassiyā imā gāthā,

Sahassiyā nāma kā atthi gāthā”.

“Icchāmi vohaṃ sutavuddhimattano,

“Attānurakkhāya bhavanti hete,
Hatthārohā rathikā pattikā ca;
Assāruhā ye ca dhanuggahāse,
Senaṃ payuñjāma hanāma sattuṃ”.

“Sudukkaraṃ porisādo akāsi,

Citakā ayaṃ tāva sadhūmikāva;
Niddhūmake pacitaṃ sādhupakkaṃ,
Suṇoma gāthāyo satārahāyo”.

“Adhammiko tvaṃ porisādakāsi,
