‘‘Sīlamevidha sikkhetha, asmiṃ loke susikkhitaṃ;

Sīlaṃ hi sabbasampattiṃ, upanāmeti sevitaṃ.

609.

‘‘Sīlaṃ rakkheyya medhāvī, patthayāno tayo sukhe;

Pasaṃsaṃ vittilābhañca, pecca sagge pamodanaṃ.

‘‘Sīlavā hi bahū mitte, saññamenādhigacchati;

Dussīlo pana mittehi, dhaṃsate pāpamācaraṃ.

611.

‘‘Avaṇṇañca akittiñca, dussīlo labhate naro;

Vaṇṇaṃ kittiṃ pasaṃsañca, sadā labhati sīlavā.

612.

‘‘Ādi sīlaṃ patiṭṭhā ca, kalyāṇānañca mātukaṃ;

Pamukhaṃ sabbadhammānaṃ, tasmā sīlaṃ visodhaye.

613.

‘‘Velā ca saṃvaraṃ sīlaṃ, cittassa abhihāsanaṃ;

Titthañca sabbabuddhānaṃ, tasmā sīlaṃ visodhaye.

614.

‘‘Sīlaṃ balaṃ appaṭimaṃ, sīlaṃ āvudhamuttamaṃ;

Sīlamābharaṇaṃ seṭṭhaṃ, sīlaṃ kavacamabbhutaṃ.

615.

‘‘Sīlaṃ setu mahesakkho, sīlaṃ gandho anuttaro;

Sīlaṃ vilepanaṃ seṭṭhaṃ, yena vāti disodisaṃ.

‘‘Sīlaṃ sambalamevaggaṃ, sīlaṃ pātheyyamuttamaṃ;

Sīlaṃ seṭṭho ativāho, yena yāti disodisaṃ.

Sabbattha dummano bālo, sīlesu asamāhito.

618.

‘‘Idheva kittiṃ labhati, pecca sagge ca summano;

Sabbattha sumano dhīro, sīlesu susamāhito.

Manussesu ca devesu, sīlapaññāṇato jaya’’nti.

2. Sunītattheragāthā

‘‘Nīce kulamhi jātohaṃ, daliddo appabhojano;

Hīnakammaṃ mamaṃ āsi, ahosiṃ pupphachaḍḍako.

621.

‘‘Jigucchito manussānaṃ, paribhūto ca vambhito;

Nīcaṃ manaṃ karitvāna, vandissaṃ bahukaṃ janaṃ.

622.

‘‘Athaddasāsiṃ sambuddhaṃ, bhikkhusaṅghapurakkhataṃ;

Pavisantaṃ mahāvīraṃ, magadhānaṃ puruttamaṃ.

Mameva anukampāya, aṭṭhāsi purisuttamo.

Pabbajjaṃ ahamāyāciṃ, sabbasattānamuttamaṃ.

625.

‘Ehi bhikkhū’ti maṃ āha, sā me āsūpasampadā.

626.

‘‘Sohaṃ eko araññasmiṃ, viharanto atandito;

Akāsiṃ satthuvacanaṃ, yathā maṃ ovadī jino.

627.

‘‘Rattiyā paṭhamaṃ yāmaṃ, pubbajātimanussariṃ;

Rattiyā majjhimaṃ yāmaṃ, dibbacakkhuṃ visodhayiṃ;

Rattiyā pacchime yāme, tamokhandhaṃ padālayiṃ.

628.

‘‘Tato ratyā vivasāne, sūriyassuggamanaṃ pati;

Indo brahmā ca āgantvā, maṃ namassiṃsu pañjalī.

629.

‘‘‘Namo te purisājañña, namo te purisuttama;

Yassa te āsavā khīṇā, dakkhiṇeyyosi mārisa’.

630.

‘‘Tato disvāna maṃ satthā, devasaṅghapurakkhataṃ;

Sitaṃ pātukaritvāna, imamatthaṃ abhāsatha.

631.

‘‘‘Tapena brahmacariyena, saṃyamena damena ca;

Etena brāhmaṇo hoti, etaṃ brāhmaṇamuttama’’’nti.

... Sunīto thero...

Dvādasakanipāto niṭṭhito.

Tatruddānaṃ -

Sīlavā ca sunīto ca, therā dve te mahiddhikā;

Dvādasamhi nipātamhi, gāthāyo catuvīsatīti.
