About Devadatta
एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति गिज्झकूटे पब्बते अचिरपक्कन्ते देवदत्ते।
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati gijjhakūṭe pabbate acirapakkante devadatte.
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain, not long after Devadatta had left.
अथ खो ब्रह्मा सहम्पति अभिक्कन्ताय रत्तिया अभिक्कन्तवण्णो केवलकप्पं गिज्झकूटं पब्बतं ओभासेत्वा येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं अट्ठासि। एकमन्तं ठितो खो ब्रह्मा सहम्पति देवदत्तं आरब्भ भगवतो सन्तिके इमं गाथं अभासि:
Atha kho brahmā sahampati abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇo kevalakappaṁ gijjhakūṭaṁ pabbataṁ obhāsetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho brahmā sahampati devadattaṁ ārabbha bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Then, late at night, the beautiful Brahmā Sahampati, lighting up the entire Vulture’s Peak, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“फलं वे कदलिं हन्ति, फलं वेळुं फलं नळं; सक्कारो कापुरिसं हन्ति, गब्भो अस्सतरिं यथा”ति।
“Phalaṁ ve kadaliṁ hanti, phalaṁ veḷuṁ phalaṁ naḷaṁ; Sakkāro kāpurisaṁ hanti, gabbho assatariṁ yathā”ti.
“The banana tree is destroyed by its own fruit, as are the bamboo and the reed. Honor destroys a sinner, as pregnancy destroys a mule.”
