Translator: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā pāvāyaṁ viharati ajakalāpake cetiye, ajakalāpakassa yakkhassa bhavane.

Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā rattandhakāratimisāyaṁ abbhokāse nisinno hoti; devo ca ekamekaṁ phusāyati.

Atha kho ajakalāpako yakkho bhagavato bhayaṁ chambhitattaṁ lomahaṁsaṁ uppādetukāmo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavato avidūre tikkhattuṁ “akkulo pakkulo”ti akkulapakkulikaṁ akāsi:

“eso te, samaṇa, pisāco”ti.

Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṁ viditvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

“Yadā sakesu dhammesu,

pāragū hoti brāhmaṇo;

Atha etaṁ pisācañca,

pakkulañcātivattatī”ti.

Sattamaṁ.
