Idamavoca bhagavā. Idaṃ vatvāna sugato athāparaṃ etadavoca satthā –

‘‘Pācīnavaṃso tivarānaṃ, rohitassāna vaṅkako;

Suppiyānaṃ supassoti, māgadhānañca vepullo.

‘‘Aniccā vata saṅkhārā, uppādavayadhammino;

Uppajjitvā nirujjhanti, tesaṃ vūpasamo sukho’’ti. dasamaṃ;

Dutiyo vaggo.

Duggataṃ sukhitañceva, tiṃsa mātāpitena ca;

Bhātā bhaginī putto ca, dhītā vepullapabbataṃ.

Anamataggasaṃyuttaṃ samattaṃ.
