19. Dhammaṭṭhavaggo

Na tena hoti dhammaṭṭho, yenatthaṃ sāhasā [sahasā (sī. syā. ka.)] naye;

Yo ca atthaṃ anatthañca, ubho niccheyya paṇḍito.

Asāhasena dhammena, samena nayatī pare;

Dhammassa gutto medhāvī, ‘‘dhammaṭṭho’’ti pavuccati.

Na tena paṇḍito hoti, yāvatā bahu bhāsati;

Khemī averī abhayo, ‘‘paṇḍito’’ti pavuccati.

Na tāvatā dhammadharo, yāvatā bahu bhāsati;

Yo ca appampi sutvāna, dhammaṃ kāyena passati;

Sa ve dhammadharo hoti, yo dhammaṃ nappamajjati.

Na tena thero so hoti [thero hoti (sī. syā.)], yenassa palitaṃ siro;

Paripakko vayo tassa, ‘‘moghajiṇṇo’’ti vuccati.

Yamhi saccañca dhammo ca, ahiṃsā saṃyamo damo;

Sa ve vantamalo dhīro, ‘‘thero’’ iti [so theroti (syā. ka.)] pavuccati.

Na vākkaraṇamattena, vaṇṇapokkharatāya vā;

Sādhurūpo naro hoti, issukī maccharī saṭho.

Yassa cetaṃ samucchinnaṃ, mūlaghaccaṃ samūhataṃ;

Sa vantadoso medhāvī, ‘‘sādhurūpo’’ti vuccati.

Na muṇḍakena samaṇo, abbato alikaṃ bhaṇaṃ;

Icchālobhasamāpanno, samaṇo kiṃ bhavissati.

Yo ca sameti pāpāni, aṇuṃ thūlāni sabbaso;

Samitattā hi pāpānaṃ, ‘‘samaṇo’’ti pavuccati.

Na tena bhikkhu so hoti, yāvatā bhikkhate pare;

Vissaṃ dhammaṃ samādāya, bhikkhu hoti na tāvatā.

Yodha puññañca pāpañca, bāhetvā brahmacariyavā [brahmacariyaṃ (ka.)];

Saṅkhāya loke carati, sa ve ‘‘bhikkhū’’ti vuccati.

Na monena munī hoti, mūḷharūpo aviddasu;

Yo ca tulaṃva paggayha, varamādāya paṇḍito.

Pāpāni parivajjeti, sa munī tena so muni;

Yo munāti ubho loke, ‘‘muni’’ tena pavuccati.

Na tena ariyo hoti, yena pāṇāni hiṃsati;

Ahiṃsā sabbapāṇānaṃ, ‘‘ariyo’’ti pavuccati.

Na sīlabbatamattena, bāhusaccena vā pana;

Atha vā samādhilābhena, vivittasayanena vā.

Phusāmi nekkhammasukhaṃ, aputhujjanasevitaṃ;

Bhikkhu vissāsamāpādi, appatto āsavakkhayaṃ.

Dhammaṭṭhavaggo ekūnavīsatimo niṭṭhito.
