Puttakaṇḍa

Puttakaṇḍa

Abhijātaṃ anujātaṃ, puttamicchanti paṇḍitā;

Avajātaṃ na icchanti, yo hoti kulagandhano.

Pañcaṭṭhānāni sampassaṃ, puttamicchanti paṇḍitā;

Bhato vā no bharissati, kiccaṃ vā no karissati.

Kulavaṃso ciraṃ tiṭṭhe, dāyajjaṃ paṭipajjati;

Atha vā pana petānaṃ, dakkhinaṃ anupadassati.

Bahuputte pitā eko, avassaṃ poseti sadā;

Bahuputtā na sakkonti, posetuṃ pitarekakaṃ.

Puttaṃ vā bhātaraṃ duṭṭhu, anusāseyya no jahe;

Kinnu chejjaṃ karaṃ pādaṃ, littaṃ asucinā siyā.
