वेरोचनअसुरिन्दसुत्त
Verocanaasurindasutta
Verocana, Lord of Demons
सावत्थियं जेतवने।
Sāvatthiyaṁ jetavane.
Near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove.
तेन खो पन समयेन भगवा दिवाविहारगतो होति पटिसल्लीनो।
Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā divāvihāragato hoti paṭisallīno.
Now at that time the Buddha had gone into retreat for the day’s meditation.
अथ खो सक्को च देवानमिन्दो वेरोचनो च असुरिन्दो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु; उपसङ्कमित्वा पच्चेकं द्वारबाहं निस्साय अट्ठंसु। अथ खो वेरोचनो असुरिन्दो भगवतो सन्तिके इमं गाथं अभासि:
Atha kho sakko ca devānamindo verocano ca asurindo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā paccekaṁ dvārabāhaṁ nissāya aṭṭhaṁsu. Atha kho verocano asurindo bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Then Sakka, lord of gods, and Verocana, lord of demons, approached the Buddha and stationed themselves one by each door-post. Then Verocana recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“वायमेथेव पुरिसो, याव अत्थस्स निप्फदा; निप्फन्नसोभनो अत्थो, वेरोचनवचो इदन्”ति।
“Vāyametheva puriso, yāva atthassa nipphadā; Nipphannasobhano1 attho, verocanavaco idan”ti.
“A man should make an effort until his goal is accomplished. When goals are accomplished they shine: this is the word of Verocana!”
“वायमेथेव पुरिसो, याव अत्थस्स निप्फदा; निप्फन्नसोभनो अत्थो, खन्त्या भिय्यो न विज्जती”ति।
“Vāyametheva puriso, yāva atthassa nipphadā; Nipphannasobhano attho, khantyā bhiyyo na vijjatī”ti.
“A man should make an effort until his goal is accomplished. Of goals that shine when accomplished, none better than patience is found.”
“सब्बे सत्ता अत्थजाता, तत्थ तत्थ यथारहं; संयोगपरमा त्वेव, सम्भोगा सब्बपाणिनं; निप्फन्नसोभनो अत्थो, वेरोचनवचो इदन्”ति।
“Sabbe sattā atthajātā, tattha tattha yathārahaṁ; Saṁyogaparamā tveva, sambhogā sabbapāṇinaṁ; Nipphannasobhano attho, verocanavaco idan”ti.
“All beings are goal-orientated, as befits them in each case. But connection is the ultimate of pleasures for all living creatures. When goals are accomplished they shine: this is the word of Verocana!”
“सब्बे सत्ता अत्थजाता, तत्थ तत्थ यथारहं; संयोगपरमा त्वेव, सम्भोगा सब्बपाणिनं; निप्फन्नसोभनो अत्थो, खन्त्या भिय्यो न विज्जती”ति।
“Sabbe sattā atthajātā, tattha tattha yathārahaṁ; Saṁyogaparamā tveva, sambhogā sabbapāṇinaṁ; Nipphannasobhano attho, khantyā bhiyyo na vijjatī”ti.
“All beings are goal-orientated, as befits them in each case. But connection is the ultimate of pleasures for all living creatures. Of goals that shine when accomplished, none better than patience is found.”
