Ujjayasutta

39. 271 Atha kho ujjayo brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho ujjayo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca— “bhavampi no gotamo yaññaṃ vaṇṇetī”ti? “Na kho ahaṃ, brāhmaṇa, sabbaṃ yaññaṃ vaṇṇemi; na panāhaṃ, brāhmaṇa, sabbaṃ yaññaṃ na vaṇṇemi. Yathārūpe kho, brāhmaṇa, yaññe gāvo haññanti, ajeḷakā haññanti, kukkuṭasūkarā haññanti, vividhā pāṇā saṅghātaṃ āpajjanti; evarūpaṃ kho ahaṃ, brāhmaṇa, sārambhaṃ yaññaṃ na vaṇṇemi. Taṃ kissa hetu? Evarūpañhi, brāhmaṇa, sārambhaṃ yaññaṃ na upasaṅkamanti arahanto vā arahattamaggaṃ vā samāpannā.

272 Yathārūpe ca kho, brāhmaṇa, yaññe neva gāvo haññanti, na ajeḷakā haññanti, na kukkuṭasūkarā haññanti, na vividhā pāṇā saṅghātaṃ āpajjanti; evarūpaṃ kho ahaṃ, brāhmaṇa, nirārambhaṃ yaññaṃ vaṇṇemi, yadidaṃ niccadānaṃ anukulayaññaṃ. Taṃ kissa hetu? Evarūpañhi, brāhmaṇa, nirārambhaṃ yaññaṃ upasaṅkamanti arahanto vā arahattamaggaṃ vā samāpannāti.

273 Assamedhaṃ purisamedhaṃ,

Sammāpāsaṃ vājapeyyaṃ niraggaḷaṃ;

Mahāyaññā mahārambhā,

Na te honti mahapphalā.

274 Ajeḷakā ca gāvo ca,

vividhā yattha haññare;

Na taṃ sammaggatā yaññaṃ,

upayanti mahesino.

275 Ye ca yaññā nirārambhā,

yajanti anukulaṃ sadā;

Ajeḷakā ca gāvo ca,

vividhā nettha haññare;

Tañca sammaggatā yaññaṃ,

upayanti mahesino.

276 Etaṃ yajetha medhāvī,

eso yañño mahapphalo;

Etaṃ hi yajamānassa,

seyyo hoti na pāpiyo;

Yañño ca vipulo hoti,

pasīdanti ca devatā”ti.

277 Navamaṃ.
