Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa
Lokanīti
1. Paṇḍitakaṇḍo
Lokanītiṃ ¶ pavakkhāmi,
Nānāsatthasamuddhaṭaṃ;
Māgadheneva saṅkhepaṃ,
Vanditvā ratanatthayaṃ.
Nītiloke purisassa sāro,
Mātā pitā ācariyoca mitto;
Tasmā hi nītiṃ puriso vijaññā,
Ñāṇī mahā hoti bahussutoca.
Alasassa kuto sippaṃ,
Asippassa kuto dhanaṃ;
Adhanassa kuto mittaṃ,
Amittassa kuto sukhaṃ;
Asukhassa ¶ kuto puññaṃ,
Apuññassa kuto varaṃ.
Sippā samaṃ dhanaṃ natthi,
Sippaṃ corā nagaṇhare;
Idha loke sippaṃ mittaṃ,
Paraloke sukhāvahaṃ.
Appakaṃ nātimaññeyya,
Citte sutaṃ nidhāpaye;
Vammikodakabindūva,
Cirena paripūrati.
Khuddoti nātimaññeyya,
Vijjaṃ vā sippameva vā;
Ekampi pariyodātaṃ,
Jīvitakappakāraṇaṃ.
Sele sele na māṇikaṃ,
Gaje gaje na muttikaṃ;
Vane vane na candanaṃ,
Ṭhāne ṭhāne na paṇḍitaṃ.
Paṇḍito sutasampanno,
Yattha atthīti ce suto;
Mahussāhena ¶ taṃ ṭhānaṃ,
Gantabbaṃva sutesinā.
Sine sippaṃ sine dhanaṃ,
Sine pabbatamāruhaṃ;
Sine kāmassa kodhassa,
Ime pañca sine sine.
Suti sammuti saṅkhyāca,
Yogā nīti visesakā;
Gandhabbā gaṇikā ceva,
Dhanu bedā ca pūraṇā.
Tikicchā itihāsā ca,
Joti māyā ca chandati;
Ketu mantā ca saddā ca,
Sippāṭṭhārasakā ime.
Apuṭṭho paṇḍito bherī,
Pajjunno me hoti pucchito;
Bālo puṭṭho apuṭṭhopi,
Bahumpi bhaṇate sadā.
Potthakesu ca yaṃ sippaṃ,
Parahatthesu yaṃ dhanaṃ;
Yathākicce ¶ samuppanne,
Na taṃ sippaṃ na taṃ dhanaṃ.
Jalappamāṇaṃ kumuddanālaṃ,
Kulappamāṇaṃ vinayo pamāṇaṃ;
Byattippamāṇaṃ kathītavākyaṃ,
Pathaviyā pamāṇaṃ tiṇa milātaṃ.
Appassuto sutaṃ appaṃ,
Bahuṃ maññati mānavā;
Sindhūdakaṃ apassanto,
Kūpe toyaṃva maṇḍuko.
Pathamaṃ parājaye sippaṃ,
Dutiyaṃ parājaye dhanaṃ;
Tatiyaṃ parājaye dhammaṃ,
Catutthaṃ kiṃ karissati.
Byatta putra kimalaso,
Abyatto bhārahārako;
Byattako pūjito loke,
Byatta putra dine dine.
Mātā verī pitā satru,
Kena bāle na sikkhitā;
Sabhāmajjhe ¶ na sobhanti,
Haṃsamajjhe bakoyathā.
Kaṇṭakaṃ giri ko tikkhati,
Ko añjanaṃ migakkhikaṃ;
Uppathaṃ pallale ko sugandhaṃ,
Kula-putta-rūpo ko pavattati;
Sāmaṃ-bhāvo.
Na rasaṃ akotambulaṃ,
Adhanassa, laṅkatampi;
Alonakantu byañjanaṃ,
Byākaraṇaṃ asippassa.
Sussusā sutasampanno,
Sutāpaññāya pavaḍḍhati;
Paññāya atthaṃ jānāti,
Ñāto attho sukhāvaho.
Bhojanaṃ methunaṃ niddā,
Goṇe posepi vijjati;
Vijjā viseso posassa,
Taṃ hīno gosamo bhave.
Natthi vijjāsamaṃmittaṃ,
Naca byādhisamo ripu;
Naca ¶ attasamaṃ pemaṃ,
Naca kammasamaṃ balaṃ.
Haṃso majjhe na kākānaṃ,
Sīho gunnaṃ na sobhate;
Gadrabhamajjhe turaṅgo,
Bālamajjhe ca paṇḍito.
Yāvajīvampi ce bālo,
Paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati;
Na so dhammaṃ vijānāti,
Dabbi sūparasaṃ yathā.
Muhuttamapi ce viññū,
Paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati;
Khippaṃ dhammaṃ vijānāti,
Jivhā sūparasaṃ yathā.
Vinā satthaṃ na gaccheyya,
Sūro saṅgāmabhūmiyaṃ;
Paṇḍitvāddhagū vāṇijo,
Videsagamano tathā.
Dhananāsaṃ manotāpaṃ,
Ghare duccaritāni ca;
Vañcanañca ¶ avamānaṃ,
Paṇḍito na pakāsaye.
Pattānurūpakaṃ vākyaṃ,
Sabhāvarūpakaṃ piyaṃ;
Attānurūpakaṃ kodhaṃ,
Yo jānāti sa paṇḍito.
A-dhanassa rasaṃ khādā,
A-balassa hathā narā;
A-paññassa vākya-kathā,
Ummattaka-samā ime.
Anavhāyaṃ gamayanto,
A-pucchā bahu-bhāsako;
Atta-guṇaṃ pakāsento,
Ti-vidhaṃ hīna-lakkhaṇaṃ.
Appa-rūpo bahuṃ bhāso,
Appa-pañño pakāsito;
Appa-pūro ghaṭo khobhe,
Appa-khīrā gāvī cathe.
Maṇḍūkepi ukre sīhe,
Kākaggahe piye piye;
A-paṇḍīpi ¶ paṇḍī hutvā,
Dhīrā pucche vaye vaye.
Maṇḍūkepi ukre sīhe,
Sūkarepi uhe dīpe;
Biḷāre sadise byagghe,
Sabba dhīre sippa-same.
Na titti rājā dhanamhi,
Paṇḍitopi su-bhāsite;
Cakkhuṃpi piya-dassane,
Jale sāgaro na titti.
Rūpa-yobbana-sampannā,
Visātha-kutha-sambhavā;
Vijjā-hīnā na sobhanti,
Nigandhā iva kiṃsukā.
Hīne putto rājāmacco,
Bāla-putto ca paṇḍito;
A-dhanassa dhanaṃ bahu,
Purisānaṃ na maññatha.
Yo sippa-lobhena,
Bahuṃ gaṇhāti taṃ sippaṃ;
Mūgova ¶ supinaṃ passaṃ,
Kathetumpi na ussahe.
Bhijjetuṃ kumbhakāro,
Sobhetuṃ kumbha ghaṭṭati;
Na khipituṃ apāyesu,
Sissānaṃ vuḍḍhi-kāraṇā.
Taggarañca palāsena,
Yo naro upanayhati;
Pattāpi surabhi vāyanti,
Evaṃ dhīrūpasevanā.
Paṇḍitakaṇḍo niṭṭhito.
