Dutiyaāyusutta

Translator: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.

Tatra kho bhagavā …pe… etadavoca:

“Appamidaṁ, bhikkhave, manussānaṁ āyu.

Gamanīyo samparāyo, kattabbaṁ kusalaṁ, caritabbaṁ brahmacariyaṁ.

Natthi jātassa amaraṇaṁ.

Yo, bhikkhave, ciraṁ jīvati, so vassasataṁ appaṁ vā bhiyyo”ti.

Atha kho māro pāpimā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“Nāccayanti ahorattā,

Jīvitaṁ nūparujjhati;

Āyu anupariyāyati maccānaṁ,

Nemīva rathakubbaran”ti.

“Accayanti ahorattā,

jīvitaṁ uparujjhati;

Āyu khīyati maccānaṁ,

kunnadīnaṁva odakan”ti.

Atha kho māro pāpimā “jānāti maṁ bhagavā, jānāti maṁ sugato”ti dukkhī dummano tatthevantaradhāyīti.

Paṭhamo vaggo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Tapokammañca nāgo ca,

subhaṁ pāsena te duve;

Sappo supati nandanaṁ,

āyunā apare duveti.
