1. Mahāmoggallānattheragāthā

‘‘Āraññikā piṇḍapātikā, uñchāpattāgate ratā; Dālemu maccuno senaṃ, ajjhattaṃ susamāhitā.

‘‘Āraññikā piṇḍapātikā, uñchāpattāgate ratā; Dhunāma maccuno senaṃ, naḷāgāraṃva kuñjaro.

‘‘Rukkhamūlikā sātatikā, uñchāpattāgate ratā; Dālemu maccuno senaṃ, ajjhattaṃ susamāhitā.

‘‘Rukkhamūlikā sātatikā, uñchāpattāgate ratā; Dhunāma maccuno senaṃ, naḷāgāraṃva kuñjaro.

‘‘Aṭṭhikaṅkalakuṭike, maṃsanhārupasibbite; Dhiratthu pure duggandhe, paragatte mamāyase.

‘‘Gūthabhaste taconaddhe, uragaṇḍipisācini; Nava sotāni te kāye, yāni sandanti sabbadā.

‘‘Tava sarīraṃ navasotaṃ, duggandhakaraṃ paribandhaṃ; Bhikkhu parivajjayate taṃ, mīḷhaṃ ca yathā sucikāmo.

‘‘Evañce taṃ jano jaññā, yathā jānāmi taṃ ahaṃ; Ārakā parivajjeyya, gūthaṭṭhānaṃva pāvuse’’.

‘‘Evametaṃ mahāvīra, yathā samaṇa bhāsasi; Ettha ceke visīdanti, paṅkamhiva jaraggavo.

‘‘Ākāsamhi haliddiyā, yo maññetha rajetave; Aññena vāpi raṅgena, vighātudayameva taṃ.

‘‘Tadākāsasamaṃ cittaṃ, ajjhattaṃ susamāhitaṃ; Mā pāpacitte āsādi, aggikhandhaṃva pakkhimā.

‘‘Passa cittakataṃ bimbaṃ, arukāyaṃ samussitaṃ; Āturaṃ bahusaṅkappaṃ, yassa natthi dhuvaṃ ṭhiti.

‘‘Passa cittakataṃ rūpaṃ, maṇinā kuṇḍalena ca; Aṭṭhiṃ tacena onaddhaṃ, saha vatthehi sobhati.

‘‘Alattakakatā pādā, mukhaṃ cuṇṇakamakkhitaṃ; Alaṃ bālassa mohāya, no ca pāragavesino.

‘‘Aṭṭhapadakatā kesā, nettā añjanamakkhitā; Alaṃ bālassa mohāya, no ca pāragavesino.

‘‘Añjanīva navā cittā, pūtikāyo alaṅkato; Alaṃ bālassa mohāya, no ca pāragavesino.

‘‘Odahi migavo pāsaṃ, nāsadā vāguraṃ migo; Bhutvā nivāpaṃ gacchāma, kaddante migabandhake.

‘‘Chinno pāso migavassa, nāsadā vāguraṃ migo; Bhutvā nivāpaṃ gacchāma, socante migaluddake.

‘‘Tadāsi yaṃ bhiṃsanakaṃ, tadāsi lomahaṃsanaṃ; Anekākārasampanne, sāriputtamhi nibbute.

[dī. ni. 2.221, 272; saṃ. ni. 1.186; 2.143; apa. thera 1.2.115; jā. 1.1.95] ‘‘Aniccā vata saṅkhārā uppādavaya dhammino. Upajjitvā nirujjhanti, tesaṃ vūpasamo sukho.

‘‘Sukhumaṃ te paṭivijjhanti, vālaggaṃ usunā yathā; Ye pañcakkhandhe passanti, parato no ca attato.

‘‘Ye ca passanti saṅkhāre, parato no ca attato; Paccabyādhiṃsu nipuṇaṃ, vālaggaṃ usunā yathā.

[saṃ. ni. 1.21, 97] ‘‘Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho, ḍayhamānova matthake; Kāmarāgappahānāya, sato bhikkhu paribbaje.

[saṃ. ni. 1.21, 97]‘‘Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho, ḍayhamānova matthake; Bhavarāgappahānāya, sato bhikkhu paribbaje’’.

‘‘Codito bhāvitattena, sarīrantimadhārinā; Migāramātupāsādaṃ, pādaṅguṭṭhena kampayiṃ.

‘‘Nayidaṃ sithilamārabbha, nayidaṃ appena thāmasā; Nibbānamadhigantabbaṃ, sabbagantha-pamocanaṃ.

‘‘Ayañca daharo bhikkhu, ayamuttamaporiso; Dhāreti antimaṃ dehaṃ, jetvā māraṃ savāhiniṃ [savāhanaṃ (ka.)].

‘‘Vivaramanupabhanti vijjutā, vebhārassa ca paṇḍavassa ca; Nagavivaragato jhāyati, putto appaṭimassa tādino.

‘‘Upasanto uparato, pantasenāsano muni; Dāyādo buddhaseṭṭhassa, brahmunā abhivandito.

‘‘Upasantaṃ uparataṃ, pantasenāsanaṃ muniṃ; Dāyādaṃ buddhaseṭṭhassa, vanda brāhmaṇa kassapaṃ.

‘‘Yo ca jātisataṃ gacche, sabbā brāhmaṇajātiyo; Sottiyo vedasampanno, manussesu punappunaṃ.

‘‘Ajjhāyakopi ce assa, tiṇṇaṃ vedāna pāragū; Etassa vandanāyetaṃ, kalaṃ nāgghati soḷasiṃ.

‘‘Yo so aṭṭha vimokkhāni, purebhattaṃ aphassayi [apassayi (sī. ka.), aphussayi (syā.)]; Anulomaṃ paṭilomaṃ, tato piṇḍāya gacchati.

‘‘Tādisaṃ bhikkhuṃ māsādi [mā hani (sī.)], māttānaṃ khaṇi brāhmaṇa; Abhippasādehi manaṃ, arahantamhi tādine; Khippaṃ pañjaliko vanda, mā te vijaṭi matthakaṃ.

‘‘Neso passati saddhammaṃ, saṃsārena purakkhato; Adhogamaṃ jimhapathaṃ, kummaggamanudhāvati.

‘‘Kimīva mīḷhasallitto, saṅkhāre adhimucchito; Pagāḷho lābhasakkāre, tuccho gacchati poṭṭhilo.

‘‘Imañca passa āyantaṃ, sāriputtaṃ sudassanaṃ; Vimuttaṃ ubhatobhāge, ajjhattaṃ susamāhitaṃ.

‘‘Visallaṃ khīṇasaṃyogaṃ, tevijjaṃ maccuhāyinaṃ; Dakkhiṇeyyaṃ manussānaṃ, puññakkhettaṃ anuttaraṃ.

‘‘Ete sambahulā devā, iddhimanto yasassino; Dasa devasahassāni, sabbe brahmapurohitā; Moggallānaṃ namassantā, tiṭṭhanti pañjalīkatā.

‘‘‘Namo te purisājañña, namo te purisuttama; Yassa te āsavā khīṇā, dakkhiṇeyyosi mārisa’.

‘‘Pūjito naradevena, uppanno maraṇābhibhū; Puṇḍarīkaṃva toyena, saṅkhārenupalippati.

‘‘Yassa muhuttena sahassadhā loko, saṃvidito sabrahmakappo vasi; Iddhiguṇe cutupapāte kāle, passati devatā sa bhikkhu.

‘‘Sāriputtova paññāya, sīlena upasamena ca; Yopi pāraṅgato bhikkhu, etāvaparamo siyā.

‘‘Koṭisatasahassassa, attabhāvaṃ khaṇena nimmine; Ahaṃ vikubbanāsu kusalo, vasībhūtomhi iddhiyā.

‘‘Samādhivijjāvasipāramīgato, moggallānagotto asitassa sāsane; Dhīro samucchindi samāhitindriyo, nāgo yathā pūtilataṃva bandhanaṃ.

‘‘Pariciṇṇo mayā satthā, kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ; Ohito garuko bhāro, bhavanetti samūhatā.

‘‘Yassa catthāya pabbajito, agārasmānagāriyaṃ; So me attho anuppatto, sabbasaṃyojanakkhayo.

[ma. ni. 1.513] ‘‘Kīdiso nirayo āsi, yattha dussī apaccatha; Vidhuraṃ sāvakamāsajja, kakusandhañca brāhmaṇaṃ.

‘‘Sataṃ āsi ayosaṅkū, sabbe paccattavedanā; Īdiso nirayo āsi, yattha dussī apaccatha; Vidhuraṃ sāvakamāsajja, kakusandhañca brāhmaṇaṃ.

‘‘Yo etamabhijānāti, bhikkhu buddhassa sāvako; Tādisaṃ bhikkhumāsajja, kaṇha dukkhaṃ nigacchasi.

‘‘Majjhesarasmiṃ [sarassa (sī.), sāgarasmiṃ (ka.)] tiṭṭhanti, vimānā kappaṭhāyino; Veḷuriyavaṇṇā rucirā, accimanto pabhassarā; Accharā tattha naccanti, puthu nānattavaṇṇiyo.

‘‘Yo etamabhijānāti…pe… kaṇha dukkhaṃ nigacchasi.

‘‘Yo ve buddhena codito, bhikkhusaṅghassa pekkhato; Migāramātupāsādaṃ, pādaṅguṭṭhena kampayi.

‘‘Yo etamabhijānāti…pe… kaṇha dukkhaṃ nigacchasi.

‘‘Yo vejayantapāsādaṃ, pādaṅguṭṭhena kampayi; Iddhibalenupatthaddho, saṃvejesi ca devatā.

‘‘Yo etamabhijānāti…pe… kaṇha dukkhaṃ nigacchasi.

‘‘Yo vejayantapāsāde, sakkaṃ so paripucchati; Api āvuso jānāsi, taṇhakkhayavimuttiyo; Tassa sakko viyākāsi, pañhaṃ puṭṭho yathātathaṃ.

‘‘Yo etamabhijānāti…pe… kaṇha dukkhaṃ nigacchasi.

‘‘Yo brahmānaṃ paripucchati, sudhammāyaṃ ṭhito [sudhammāyā’bhito (syā.)] sabhaṃ; Ajjāpi tyāvuso sā diṭṭhi, yā te diṭṭhi pure ahu; Passasi vītivattantaṃ, brahmaloke pabhassaraṃ.

‘‘Tassa brahmā viyākāsi, pañhaṃ puṭṭho yathātathaṃ; Na me mārisa sā diṭṭhi, yā me diṭṭhi pure ahu.

‘‘Passāmi vītivattantaṃ, brahmaloke pabhassaraṃ; Sohaṃ ajja kathaṃ vajjaṃ, ahaṃ niccomhi sassato.

‘‘Yo etamabhijānāti…pe… kaṇha dukkhaṃ nigacchasi.

‘‘Yo mahāneruno kūṭaṃ, vimokkhena aphassayi [apassayi (sī. ka.)]; Vanaṃ pubbavidehānaṃ, ye ca bhūmisayā narā.

‘‘Yo etamabhijānāti, bhikkhu buddhassa sāvako; Tādisaṃ bhikkhumāsajja, kaṇha dukkhaṃ nigacchasi.

‘‘Na ve aggi cetayati, ahaṃ bālaṃ ḍahāmīti; Bālova jalitaṃ aggiṃ, āsajja naṃ paḍayhati.

‘‘Evameva tuvaṃ māra, āsajja naṃ tathāgataṃ; Sayaṃ ḍahissasi attānaṃ, bālo aggiṃva samphusaṃ.

‘‘Apuññaṃ pasavī māro, āsajja naṃ tathāgataṃ; Kiṃ nu maññasi pāpima, na me pāpaṃ vipaccati.

‘‘Karato te cīyate [miyyate (sabbattha) ma. ni. 1.513 passitabbaṃ] pāpaṃ, cirarattāya antaka; Māra nibbinda buddhamhā, āsaṃ mākāsi bhikkhusu.

‘‘Iti māraṃ atajjesi, bhikkhu bhesakaḷāvane; Tato so dummano yakkho, tatthevantaradhāyathā’’ti.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā mahāmoggallāno [mahāmoggalāno (ka.)] thero gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.
