Cāṇakyanītilā gāthā

Lālane bahavo dosā,

Tāḷane bahavo guṇā;

Tasmā puttañca sissañca,

Tāḷaye na ca lālaye.

28.

Atītassa hi mittassa,

Yo ce dosaṃ pakāsaye;

So have paccuppannassa,

Dosaṃ bhāseti ñāyati.

29.

Latāviya sevakā te,

Ye nissayaṃ palambare;

Nissayassa vināsena,

Bhūmyaṃ senti anāthakā.

30.

Dosasiṅgehi vijjhanto,

Mānakhūrehi akkamaṃ;

Bhayaṃ karoti lokamhi,

Gova bālo vihiṃsako.

31.

Ādo upari lokoyaṃ,

Ujulekhāya tiṭṭhati;

Musāvātehi taṃlokaṃ,

Nipātesi anajjavaṃ.

32.

Sughaṭaṃ kumbhakārena,

Nāraho paribhuñjituṃ;

Tathūpamāya vekkheyya,

Sakammaparakammani.

33.

Anantaraṃsī sūropi,

Nasakkoti ghanaṃ tamaṃ;

Vijjhituṃ raṃsiyā loke,

Tathā madanamohitā;

Nasakkonti madaṃ bhetvā,

Paññābhāya pabhāsituṃ.

34.

Khedaveraṃ daliddamhi,

Bhogimhi rogupaddavaṃ;

Dessaverañca āṇimhi,

Passe lokassa veritaṃ.

35.

Saṃladdhena subhogena,

Jīvaṃ suddhaṃ kare nijaṃ;

Seṭṭho so tena jīvena,

Jeguccho malajīviko.

36.

Vajira puppharāgānaṃ,

Visesaṃ yo nabujjhati;

Kathañhi so vikkīṇeyya,

Kīṇeyya vā yathātathaṃ.

37.

Kippīli kopi cintetvā,

Pabbataṃ bhettu mussahaṃ;

Abalā tanumajjhattā,

Cintā hasyāva sā mudhā.

38.

Jātamattaṃ na yo sattuṃ,

Rogañcūpasamaṃ naye;

Mahābalopi teneva,

Vuddhiṃpatvā sa haññate.

39.

Sajīvamaṃsabhakkhehi,

Sadāṭhīhi mukhehi bho;

Biḷārabyagghasīhānaṃ,

Nihīnāni anekadhā;

Tikkhāni kharavādāni,

Manussānaṃ mukhāni ve.

40.

Viluppantā vidhāvanti,

Sajīvavuttikammunā;

Janā tena vihaññanti,

Caranti dhammavemukhā.

41.

Sulabhaṃ lokiyaṃ loke,

Sāsanīyaṃva dullabhaṃ;

Dullabhaṃ taṃ vamaññanto,

Eso bālatamo bhave.

42.

Yo patittha agyāvāṭaṃ,

Mohā taṃ upakārituṃ;

Aññorohi tadā vāṭaṃ,

Dutīyo muḷhamuḷhako.

43.

Byaggho āvudhaviddho hi,

Akā duṭṭhāni ninnadaṃ;

Tatheva sādhusatthena,

Viddho bālo pakuppito.

44.

Pivanti lohitaṃ ḍaṃsā,

Anto tuṇḍena makkhikā;

Bahiddhā parivārenti,

Jano tena ḍaṃsāyaye.

45.

Adhanassa khaṇo appo,

Saddhammo appakālino;

Appako tena yuñjeyyuṃ,

Khaṇaṃ bahuṃ labhetave.
