Indakasutta

Translator: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati indakūṭe pabbate, indakassa yakkhassa bhavane.

Atha kho indako yakkho yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“Rūpaṁ na jīvanti vadanti buddhā,

Kathaṁ nvayaṁ vindatimaṁ sarīraṁ;

Kutassa aṭṭhīyakapiṇḍameti,

Kathaṁ nvayaṁ sajjati gabbharasmin”ti.

“Paṭhamaṁ kalalaṁ hoti,

kalalā hoti abbudaṁ;

Abbudā jāyate pesi,

pesi nibbattatī ghano;

Ghanā pasākhā jāyanti,

kesā lomā nakhāpi ca.

Yañcassa bhuñjatī mātā,

annaṁ pānañca bhojanaṁ;

Tena so tattha yāpeti,

mātukucchigato naro”ti.
