‘‘Parinibbute bhagavati, padumuttare mahāyase;

Pupphavaṭaṃsake katvā, sarīramabhiropayiṃ.

‘‘Tattha cittaṃ pasādetvā, nimmānaṃ agamāsahaṃ;

Devalokagato santo, puññakammaṃ sarāmahaṃ.

‘‘Ambarā pupphavasso me, sabbakālaṃ pavassati;

Saṃsarāmi manusse ce, rājā homi mahāyaso.

‘‘Tahiṃ kusumavasso me, abhivassati sabbadā;
