Ekaṃ samayaṃ Bhagavā Sāvatthiyaṃ viharati Jetavane Anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.|| ||
Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena Bhagavā ten'upasaṇkami.|| ||
Upasaṃkamitvā Bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā eka-m-antaṃ nisīdi.|| ||
Eka-m-antaṃ nisinno kho so bhikkhu Bhagavantaṃ etad avoca:|| ||
"Ko nu kho bhante, hetu,||
ko paccayo||
yena-m-idh'ekacco kāyassa bhedā param maraṇā jalābu-jānaṃ nāgānaṃ saha-vyataṃ upapajjatī" ti?|| ||
Idha bhikkhu ekacco kāyena dvaya-kārī hoti||
vācāya dvaya-kāri||
manasā dvaya-kāri,||
tassa sutaṃ hoti:|| ||
'Jalābu-jā nāgā dīghā-yukā vaṇṇa-vanto sukha-bahulā.' ti.|| ||
Tassa evaṃ hoti:|| ||
'Aho vatāhaṃ kāyassa bhedā param maraṇā jalābu-jānaṃ nāgānaṃ saha-vyataṃ upapa-j-jeyyan' ti.|| ||
So kāyassa bhedā param maraṇā jalābu-jānaṃ nāgānaṃ saha-vyataṃ uppajjati.|| ||
