Sunikkhittavagga

“Anekavaṇṇaṁ darasokanāsanaṁ,
Vimānamāruyha anekacittaṁ;
Parivārito accharāsaṅgaṇena,
Sunimmito bhūtapatīva modasi.

Samassamo natthi kuto panuttaro,
Yasena puññena ca iddhiyā ca;
Sabbe ca devā tidasagaṇā samecca,
Taṁ taṁ namassanti sasiṁva devā;
Imā ca te accharāyo samantato,
Naccanti gāyanti pamodayanti.

Deviddhipattosi mahānubhāvo,
Manussabhūto kimakāsi puññaṁ;
Kenāsi evaṁ jalitānubhāvo,
Vaṇṇo ca te sabbadisā pabhāsatī”ti.

So devaputto attamano,
…pe…
yassa kammassidaṁ phalaṁ.

“Ahaṁ bhadante ahuvāsi pubbe,
Sumedhanāmassa jinassa sāvako;
Puthujjano ananubodhohamasmi,
So satta vassāni paribbajissahaṁ.

Sohaṁ sumedhassa jinassa satthuno,
Parinibbutassoghatiṇṇassa tādino;
Ratanuccayaṁ hemajālena channaṁ,
Vanditvā thūpasmiṁ manaṁ pasādayiṁ.

Na māsi dānaṁ na ca matthi dātuṁ,
Pare ca kho tattha samādapesiṁ;
Pūjetha naṁ pūjanīyassa dhātuṁ,
Evaṁ kira saggamito gamissatha.

Tadeva kammaṁ kusalaṁ kataṁ mayā,
Sukhañca dibbaṁ anubhomi attanā;
Modāmahaṁ tidasagaṇassa majjhe,
Na tassa puññassa khayampi ajjhagan”ti.

Anekavaṇṇavimānaṁ aṭṭhamaṁ.
