ඒකමන්තං ඨිතෝ ඛෝ චන්දනෝ දේවපුත්තෝ භගවන්තං ගාථාය අජ්ඣභාසි:
Standing to one side, the god Candana addressed the Buddha in verse:
“කථංසු තරති ඕඝං, රත්තින්දිවමතන්දිතෝ; අප්පතිට්ඨේ අනාලම්බේ, කෝ ගම්භීරේ න සීදතී”ති.
“Who here crosses the flood, tireless all day and night? Who, not standing and unsupported, does not sink in the deep?”
“සබ්බදා සීලසම්පන්නෝ, පඤ්ඤවා සුසමාහිතෝ; ආරද්ධවීරියෝ පහිතත්තෝ, ඕඝං තරති දුත්තරං.
“Someone who is always endowed with ethics, wise and serene, energetic and resolute, crosses the flood so hard to cross.
විරතෝ කාමසඤ්ඤාය, රූපසංයෝජනාතිගෝ; නන්දීරාගපරික්ඛීණෝ, සෝ ගම්භීරේ න සීදතී”ති.
Someone who desists from sensual perception, has moved past the fetter of form, and has finished with relishing and greed does not sink in the deep.”
