EkarājacariyaThe One King’s Conduct

“Punāparaṁ yadā homi, ekarājāti vissuto;“Then again when I was the renowned One King, Paramaṁ sīlaṁ adhiṭṭhāya, pasāsāmi mahāmahiṁ.
adhiṭṭhāya → paramaṁsīla madhiṭaṭhāya (bj: nāgā); paramasīlaṁ adhiṭṭhāya (bj: sīmu)
resolved on highest ethics, I ruled the great earth.

Dasa kusalakammapathe, vattāmi anavasesato;Without exception I followed the ten ways of skillful deeds. Catūhi saṅgahavatthūhi, saṅgaṇhāmi mahājanaṁ.
saṅgaṇhāmi → saṅgahāmi (mr) | saṅgaṇhāmi → saṁgahāmi (bj: machasaṁ) | saṅgaṇhāmi → saṅgahāmi (cck: ka.)
With the four ways of being inclusive, I brought together the population.

Evaṁ me appamattassa, idha loke parattha ca;As I was being diligent, for the sake of this world and the next, Dabbaseno upagantvā, acchindanto puraṁ mama.
upagantvā → upāgantvā (bj, sya-all, pts) mama → mamaṁ (bj) | mamaṁ → puraṁ mama (bj: sīmu)
Dabbasena attacked and sacked my city.

Rājūpajīve nigame, sabalaṭṭhe saraṭṭhake;
saraṭṭhake → saralaṭṭhake (bj: nāgā)
The royal dependents in the city, with the military and the citizens—
Sabbaṁ hatthagataṁ katvā, kāsuyā nikhaṇī mamaṁ.
kāsuyā → kāsuyaṁ (bj)
he captured them all, and buried me in a pit.

Amaccamaṇḍalaṁ rajjaṁ, phītaṁ antepuraṁ mama;The court ministers, the flourishing kingdom, and my royal court— Acchinditvāna gahitaṁ, piyaṁ puttaṁva passahaṁ;
piyaṁ puttaṁva → piyaputtaṁva (sya-all)
were captured and held, I even saw my beloved son.
Mettāya me samo natthi, esā me mettāpāramī”ti.There is no one to equal my love: this is my perfection of love.”

Ekarājacariyaṁ cuddasamaṁ.
