Dhamma (nāvā) sutta
319. 369 Yasmā hi dhammaṁ puriso vijaññā,
Indaṁva naṁ devatā pūjayeyya;
So pūjito tasmi pasannacitto,
Bahussuto pātukaroti dhammaṁ. (1)
320. 370 Tadaṭṭhikatvāna nisamma dhīro,
Dhammānudhammaṁ paṭipajjamāno;
Viññū vibhāvī nipuṇo ca hoti,
Yo tādisaṁ bhajati appamatto. (2)
321. 371 Khuddañca bālaṁ upasevamāno,
Anāgatatthañca usūyakañca;
Idheva dhammaṁ avibhāvayitvā,
Avitiṇṇakaṅkho maraṇaṁ upeti. (3)
322. 372 Yathā naro āpagamotaritvā,
Mahodakaṁ salilaṁ sīghasotaṁ;
So vuyhamāno anusotagāmī,
Kiṁ so pare sakkhati tārayetuṁ. (4)
323. 373 Tatheva dhammaṁ avibhāvayitvā,
Bahussutānaṁ anisāmayatthaṁ;
Sayaṁ ajānaṁ avitiṇṇakaṅkho,
Kiṁ so pare sakkhati nijjhapetuṁ. (5)
324. 374 Yathāpi nāvaṁ daḷhamāruhitvā,
Phiyena rittena samaṅgibhūto;
So tāraye tattha bahūpi aññe,
Tatrūpayaññū kusalo mutīmā[190]. (6) [189]
325. 375 Evampi yo vedagu bhāvitatto,
Bahussuto hoti avedhadhammo;
So kho pare nijjhapaye pajānaṁ,
Sotāvadhānūpanisūpapanne. (7)
326. 376 Tasmā have sappurisaṁ bhajetha,
Medhāvinañceva bahussutañca;
Aññāya atthaṁ paṭipajjamāno,
Viññātadhammo sa sukhaṁ[191] labhethāti. (8)
377 Nāvāsuttaṁ aṭṭhamaṁ.
