kalyāṇameva muñceyyāti idaṃ satthā sāvatthiṃ upanissāya jetavane viharanto omasavādasikkhāpadaṃ ārabbha kathesi. Dvepi vatthūni heṭṭhā nandivisālajātake vuttasadisāneva. Imasmiṃ pana jātake bodhisatto gandhāraraṭṭhe takkasilāyaṃ aññatarassa brāhmaṇassa sārambho nāma balibaddo ahosi. Satthā idaṃ atītavatthuṃ kathetvā Abhisambuddho hutvā imaṃ gāthamāha

kalyāṇameva muñceyya na hi muñceyya pāpikaṃ

mokkho kalyāṇiyā sādhu mutvā tapati pāpikanti.

Tattha kalyāṇameva muñceyyāti catuddosavinimuttaṃ kalyāṇaṃ sundaraṃ anavajjameva muñceyya vissajjeyya katheyya. Na hi muñceyya pāpikanti pāpikaṃ lāmakaṃ paresaṃ appiyaṃ amanāpaṃ na muñceyya. Mokkho kalyāṇiyā sādhūti kalyāṇavācāya vissajjanameva imasmiṃ loke sādhu sundaraṃ bhaddakaṃ. Mutvā tapati pāpikanti pāpikaṃ pharusavācaṃ muñcitvā vissajjetvā kathetvā so puggalo tapati socati kilamatīti.

Evaṃ satthā imaṃ dhammadesanaṃ āharitvā jātakaṃ samodhānesi tadā brāhmaṇo ānando ahosi brāhmaṇī uppalavaṇṇā sārambho pana ahamevāti.

Sārambhajātakaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ.
