Nātho ravindu paṇḍito;

Kamalaṃ ko kumudaṃ ko,

Narapaṃ ko pabodhayi.

Cittena parikassati;

Cittassa eka-dhammassa,

Sabbeva vasamanvagū.

Senāpati mahā-matto;

Dhammaṭṭho paṇḍito disvā,

Paccakkhatthaṃ na kāriyā.

Na heṭṭhā ca tathā sakaṃ;

Para-vajjaṃ vidū passe,

Saka-vajjaṃpi passatu.

Sa-kāraṇaṃ vacaṃ bhaṇe;

A-kāraṇaṃphalaṃ bālo,

Idaṃ ubhaya-lakkhaṇaṃ.

Kuṭilaṃ bāla-paṇḍitaṃ;

Vācā-rūpaṃ mittaṃ kare,

Vācā-rūpaṃ dhuvaṃ jahe.

Dubbhāsitassa bhāsanā;

Dukkammassa katañcāti,

Etaṃ bālassa lakkhaṇaṃ.

Su-bhāsitassa bhāsanā;

Su-kammassa katañcāti,

Etaṃ dhīrassa lakkhaṇaṃ.

A-dhurāyaṃ ni-yuñjati;

Dunnayo seyyaso hoti,

Sammā vutto pakuppati;

Vinayaṃ so na jānāti,

Sādhu tassa a-dassanaṃ.

A-dhurāyaṃ na yuñjati;

Su-nayo seyyaso hoti,

Sammā vutto na kuppati;

Vinayaṃ so pajānāti,

Sādhu tena samāgamo.

Nassanti bahu-nāyakā;

Thī-nāyakā vinassanti,

Nassanti susu-nāyakā.

Jānaṃjānaṃva ācare;

A-jānevaṃ kare jānaṃ,

Nīco eti bhayaṃ piyaṃ.

Dudhā sujana-sāruppaṃ;

Dujjanaṃ tesu dukkamme,

Su-kamme sujanaṃ icche.

Dujjayo bāla-verito;

Paṇḍitaṃ-verī pamādena,

Na taṃ jayo hi sabbadā.

Na hi guyhassa pasatthamāvi-kammaṃ;

A-nipphannatāya saheyya dhīro,

Nipphannatthova yathā-sukhaṃ bhaṇeyya.

Rakkheyya naṃ yathā nidhiṃ;

Na hī pātukato sādhu,

Guyho attho pajānatā.

A-mittassa ca paṇḍito;

Yo cāmisena saṃhīro,

Hadaya-ttheno ca yo naro.

Rattiṃ giraṃ nāti-velaṃ pamuñce;

Upassutikā hi suṇanti mantaṃ,

Tasmā hi manto khippamupeti bhedaṃ.

So guyhaṃ paṭiguyhati;

Bhayesu na jahe kicce,

Su-mittonucaro bhave.

Ujuṃ khamati dukkhamaṃ;

Duddadaṃ sāmaṃ dadāti,

Yo su-mitto have bhave.

Piya-vatthuṃ na yācanā;

Icchāgatena dānena,

Su-daḷho su-ppiyo have;

Tadaṅgato ca hīnena,

A-ppiyo bhijjano bhave.

Sirī ca kāya-devatā;

Palāyanti siricchito,

Na yāce para-santakaṃ.

Aṭṭhiṃ tuṭṭho pamodati;

Sakantikaṃ migaṃ sīho,

Hitvā hatthiṃnudhāvati.

Jano āsīsate phalaṃ;

Mahā chandā mahantaṃva,

Hīnaṃva hīna-chandakā.

Ekāgāre vasāmase;

Ahaṃ gāma-varaṃ icche,

Brāhmaṇī ca gavaṃ sataṃ.

Kaññā ca maṇi-kuṇḍalaṃ;

Yā cesā puṇṇakā jammī,

Ujukkhalaṃbhi-kaṅkhati.

Satussāhe su-labbhitaṃ;

Taṃ daḷhaṃ dukkaraṃ kare,

Paññā-sati-samādhinā.

Buddhādi-ratanattaye;

Pasādamācare niccaṃ,

Sajjane sa-guṇepi ca.

Bālo pāpehi dummano,

Alaṅkārena itthīpi,

Kāmehi ca na tappati.

Āraddho vīriyena hi;

Visārado parisāya,

Pariccāgena dāyako;

Savanena su-dhammaṃpi,

Na tappativa paṇḍito.

Majjhassa madhurassaraṃ;

Loke aṃsa-siro-kampaṃ,

Jammassa apa-hassitaṃ;

Etesaṃ ati-hassitaṃ,

Hāso hoti yathākkamaṃ.

Na dhammo na su-bhāsitaṃ;

Nikkamaṃ duṭṭhe yuñjeyya,

So hi sabbhiṃ na rañjati.

Dullabho khemako suto;

Dullabhā sadisī jāyā,

Dullabho sa-jano piyo.

Dhūmo paññāṇamaggino;

Rājā raṭṭhassa paññāṇaṃ,

Bhattā paññāṇamitthiyā.

Putto nassati lālanā;

Samiddhi a-nayā bandhu,

Pavāsā madanā hirī.

Novāde bahu-sāsannaṃ;

Paṇḍitā mātaro appaṃ,

Vadeyyuṃ vajja-dīpanaṃ.

Dasa-vassāni tāḷaye;

Patte tu soḷase vasse,

Puttaṃ mittaṃvadācare.

Pālane bahavo guṇā;

Dhītuyā kiriyaṃ niccaṃ,

Passantu suṭṭhu mātaro.

Sattamā paricchedo.
