Translator: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500

“Kusāvatimhi nagare,

yadā āsiṁ mahīpati;

Mahāsudassano nāma,

cakkavattī mahabbalo.

Tatthāhaṁ divase tikkhattuṁ,

ghosāpemi tahiṁ tahiṁ;

‘Ko kiṁ icchati pattheti,

kassa kiṁ dīyatū dhanaṁ.

Ko chātako ko tasito,

ko mālaṁ ko vilepanaṁ;

Nānārattāni vatthāni,

ko naggo paridahissati.

Ko pathe chattamādeti,

kopāhanā mudū subhā’;

Iti sāyañca pāto ca,

ghosāpemi tahiṁ tahiṁ.

Na taṁ dasasu ṭhānesu,

napi ṭhānasatesu vā;

Anekasataṭhānesu,

paṭiyattaṁ yācake dhanaṁ.

Divā vā yadi vā rattiṁ,

yadi eti vanibbako;

Laddhā yadicchakaṁ bhogaṁ,

pūrahatthova gacchati.

Evarūpaṁ mahādānaṁ,

Adāsiṁ yāvajīvikaṁ;

Napāhaṁ dessaṁ dhanaṁ dammi,

Napi natthi nicayo mayi.

Yathāpi āturo nāma,

rogato parimuttiyā;

Dhanena vejjaṁ tappetvā,

rogato parimuccati.

Tathevāhaṁ jānamāno,

paripūretumasesato;

Ūnamanaṁ pūrayituṁ,

demi dānaṁ vanibbake;

Nirālayo apaccāso,

sambodhimanupattiyā”ti.

Mahāsudassanacariyaṁ catutthaṁ.
