Sīlapāramī 7

Translator: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500

“Punāparaṁ yadā homi,

jaṭilo uggatāpano;

Mātaṅgo nāma nāmena,

sīlavā susamāhito.

Ahañca brāhmaṇo eko,

gaṅgākūle vasāmubho;

Ahaṁ vasāmi upari,

heṭṭhā vasati brāhmaṇo.

Vicaranto anukūlamhi,

uddhaṁ me assamaddasa;

Tattha maṁ paribhāsetvā,

abhisapi muddhaphālanaṁ.

Yadihaṁ tassa pakuppeyyaṁ,

yadi sīlaṁ na gopaye;

Oloketvānahaṁ tassa,

kareyyaṁ chārikaṁ viya.

Yaṁ so tadā maṁ abhisapi,

kupito duṭṭhamānaso;

Tasseva matthake nipati,

yogena taṁ pamocayiṁ.

Anurakkhiṁ mama sīlaṁ,

nārakkhiṁ mama jīvitaṁ;

Sīlavā hi tadā āsiṁ,

bodhiyāyeva kāraṇā”ti.

Mātaṅgacariyaṁ sattamaṁ.
