4. Mittakaṇḍo

79.

Hitakāro paro bandhu,

Bandhūpi ahito paro;

A hito dehajo byādhi,

Hitaṃ araññamosadhaṃ.

80.

Parokkhe guṇa-hantāraṃ,

Paccakkhe piyavādinaṃ;

Vajjeyya tādisaṃ mittaṃ,

Visakumbhe yathā madhuṃ.

81.

Dhanahīne caje mitto,

Puttadārā sahodarā;

Dhanavantaṃva sevanti,

Dhanaṃ loke mahā sakhā.

82.

Jāneyya pesena bhaccaṃ,

Bandhuṃ vāpi bhayāgate;

Appakāsu tathā mittaṃ,

Dārañca vibhavakkhaye.

83.

So bandhu yo hite yutto,

Pitaro honti posako;

Taṃ mittaṃ yattha vissāso,

Sā bhariyā ca yassa nibbūti.

84.

Na vissase a-vissattaṃ,

Mittañcāpi na vissase;

Kadāci kupito mito,

Sabbaṃ dosaṃ pakāsaye.

85.

Sakiṃ duṭṭhañca yo mittaṃ,

Puna sandhitumicchati;

So maccuṃ upagaṇhāti,

Gabbhamassatarī yathā.

86.

Vahe a-mittaṃ khandhena,

Yāva kālo anāgato;

Tameva āgate kāle,

Sele bhinde ghaṭaṃ iva.

87.

Iṇaseso aggiseso,

Satruseso tatheva ca;

Punappunaṃ vivaḍḍhanti,

Tasmā sesaṃ na kāraye.

88.

Padumaṃva mukhaṃ yassa,

Vācā candana sītalā;

Tādisaṃ nopaseveyya,

Hadayetu halāhalaṃ.

89.

Na seve pharusaṃ sāmiṃ,

Naca seveyya macchariṃ;

Tato apaggaṇhaṃ sāmiṃ,

Neva niggahitaṃ tato.

90.

Siṅgī paññāsa hatthena,

Vajje satena vājinaṃ;

Hatthiṃ dantiṃ sahassena,

Desa cāgena dujjanaṃ.

91.

Kudesañca kumittañca,

Kukulañca kubandhavaṃ;

Kudārañca kudāsañca,

Dūrato parivajjaye.

92.

Rogāture ca dubbhikkhe,

Byasane sattu viggahe;

Rājadvāre susāne ca,

Ye tiṭṭhanti sumittakā.

93.

Sītavāco bahumitto,

Pharuso appamittako;

Upamaṃ ettha ñātabbā,

Canda-sūriya-rājūnaṃ.

Mittakaṇḍo niṭṭhito.
