Udana-Parallels-1

Ud. 1-1: Pathamabodhisuttaṁ

Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā
Ātāpino jhāyato brāhmaṇassa,
Athassa kaṅkhā vapayanti sabbā,
Yato pajānāti sahetudhammaṁ.

Uv. 33.77 Brāhmaṇavarga

Yadā tv ime tu prabhavanti dharmā
Ātāpino dhyāyato brāhmaṇasya,
Athāsya kāṅkṣā vyapayānti sarvā,
Yadā prajānāti sahetudharmam.

Ud. 1-2: Dutiyabodhisuttaṁ

Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā
Ātāpino jhāyato brāhmaṇassa,

Yato khayaṁ paccayānaṁ avedī.

Uv. 33.78 Brāhmaṇavarga

Yadā tv ime tu prabhavanti dharmā
Ātāpino dhyāyato brāhmaṇasya,
Athāsya kāṅkṣā vyapayānti sarvā,

Ud. 1-3: Tatiyabodhisuttaṁ

Uv. 33.83 Brāhmaṇavarga

Yadā tv ime tu prabhavanti dharmā
Ātāpino dhyāyato brāhmaṇasya,
Vidhūpayaṁs tiṣṭhati Mārasainyaṁ,
Buddho hi saṁyojanavipramukta iti. The simile in the Pāḷi: he dwells dispelling Māra's army, as the sun (dwells) lighting up the firmament, is dispensed with in the Sanskrit: he dwells dispelling Māra's army - the Buddha is thus free from the fetters.⁰²

Ud. 1-4: Nigrodhasuttaṁ

Yo brāhmaṇo bāhitapāpadhammo, There is a word play here between brāhmaṇo & bāhita- , which is almost lost with the Sanskritisation of brāhmaṇo, which re-introduces the -r- element, which must have been missing in the original dialect. The word play is even more obscured in the Udānavarga version, where bāhita- has become vāhita-.⁰³
Nihuhuṅko nikkasāvo yatatto,
Vedantagū vusitabrahmacariyo,
Dhammena so Brahmavādaṁ vadeyya,
Yassussadā natthi kuhiñci loke.

Uv. 33.13 Brāhmaṇavarga

Yo brāhmaṇo vāhitapāpadharmo
Niṣkautilyo niṣkaṣāyaḥ sthitātmā,

Kālenāsau brahmavādaṁ vadeta.

Ud. 1-5: Therasuttaṁ

Bāhitvā pāpake dhamme,
Ye caranti sadā satā,
Khīṇasaṁyojanā Buddhā,
Te ve lokasmiṁ brāhmaṇā.

Uv. 33.12 Brāhmaṇavarga

Pravāhya With the translation of bāhitvā to pravāhya the pun on brāhmaṇā is completely lost in the Sanskrit version.⁰⁴ pāpakāṁ dharmāṁ,
Ye caranti sadā smtāḥ,
Kṣīṇasaṁyojanā Buddhā,
Brāhmaṇās te prakīrtitāḥ.

Ud. 1-6: Kassapasuttaṁ

Anaññaposiṁ aññātaṁ,
Dantaṁ sāre patiṭṭhitaṁ,
Khīṇāsavaṁ vantadosaṁ:
Tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.

Uv. 33.23 Brāhmaṇavarga

Ananyapoṣī hy ājñātā,
Dāntaḥ sāre pratiṣṭitaḥ,
Kṣīṇāsravo vāntadoṣo:
Yaḥ sa vai brāhmaṇaḥ smtaḥ.

Ud. 1-7: Pāvāsuttaṁ

Āgataṁ nābhinandanti,
Prakramantaṁ na śocati,
Saṅgāt Saṁgrāmajin mukto:
Bravīmi brāhmaṇaṁ hi tam.

Ud. 1-9: Jaṭilasuttaṁ

Na udakena suci hoti
- bahvettha nahāyatī jano!
Yamhi saccañ-ca Dhammo ca,
So sucī so ca brāhmaṇo.

Uv. 33.11 Brāhmaṇavarga

Nodakena śucir bhavati
- bahv atra snāti vai janaḥ!
Yasya satyaṁ ca Dharmaṁ ca,
Sa śucir brāhmaṇaḥ sa ca.

Ud. 1-10: Bāhiyasuttaṁ There is also a parallel to the instruction that was given to Bāhiya in the Udānavarga at 26.17. It reads:

dṣṭe tu dṣṭamātreṇa śrute ca śrutamātratā |
mate tathaiva vijñāte duḥkhasyānto nirucyate ||⁰⁶

Yattha āpo ca paṭhavī,
Tejo vāyo na gādhati,
Na tattha sukkā jotanti,
Ādicco nappakāsati,

Na tattha candimā bhāti,
Tamo tattha na vijjati.

Yadā ca attanā vedī,
Muni monena brāhmaṇo,
Atha rūpā arūpā ca,
Sukhadukkhā pamuccati.

Uv. 26.26 & 27 Nirvāṇavarga

Yatra nāpo na pthivī,
Tejo vāyur na gāhate,
Na tatra śuklā dyotanti,
Tamas tatra na vidyate Lines d & f in the Sanskrit have been exchanged with their counterparts in the Pāḷi.⁰⁷

Na tatra candramā bhāti,
Nādityo vai prakāśyate.

Yathā tv ihātmanā vetti,
Munir mauneyam ātmanaḥ,
Atha rūpād arūpāc ca,
Sarvaduḥkhāt pramucyate.
