91. 419 Sāvatthinidānaṃ. Tena kho pana samayena sūriyo devaputto rāhunā asurindena gahito hoti. Atha kho sūriyo devaputto bhagavantaṃ anussaramāno tāyaṃ velāyaṃ imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi—

420 “Namo te buddha vīratthu,

vippamuttosi sabbadhi;

Sambādhapaṭipannosmi,

tassa me saraṇaṃ bhavā”ti.

421 Atha kho bhagavā sūriyaṃ devaputtaṃ ārabbha rāhuṃ asurindaṃ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi—

422 “Tathāgataṃ arahantaṃ,

sūriyo saraṇaṃ gato;

Rāhu sūriyaṃ pamuñcassu,

buddhā lokānukampakā.

423 Yo andhakāre tamasi pabhaṅkaro,

Verocano maṇḍalī uggatejo;

Mā rāhu gilī caramantalikkhe,

Pajaṃ mamaṃ rāhu pamuñca sūriyan”ti.

425 “Kiṃ nu santaramānova,

rāhu sūriyaṃ pamuñcasi;

Saṃviggarūpo āgamma,

kiṃ nu bhītova tiṭṭhasī”ti.

426 “Sattadhā me phale muddhā,

jīvanto na sukhaṃ labhe;

Buddhagāthābhigītomhi,

no ce muñceyya sūriyan”ti.

429 Dve kassapā ca māgho ca,

Māgadho dāmali kāmado;

Pañcālacaṇḍo tāyano,

Candimasūriyena te dasāti.
