‘‘Siddhatthassa bhagavato, mahāpūgagaṇo ahu;

Saraṇaṃ gatā ca te buddhaṃ, saddahanti tathāgataṃ.

14.

‘‘Sabbe saṅgamma mantetvā, māḷaṃ kubbanti satthuno;

Ekatthambhaṃ alabhantā, vicinanti brahāvane.

15.

‘‘Tehaṃ araññe disvāna, upagamma gaṇaṃ tadā;

Añjaliṃ paggahetvāna, paripucchiṃ gaṇaṃ ahaṃ.

16.

‘‘Te me puṭṭhā viyākaṃsu, sīlavanto upāsakā;

Māḷaṃ mayaṃ kattukāmā, ekatthambho na labbhati.

17.

‘‘Ekatthambhaṃ mamaṃ detha, ahaṃ dassāmi satthuno;

Āharissāmahaṃ thambhaṃ, appossukkā bhavantu te ².

18.

‘‘Te me thambhaṃ pavecchiṃsu, pasannā tuṭṭhamānasā;

Tato paṭinivattitvā, agamaṃsu sakaṃ gharaṃ.

‘‘Aciraṃ gate pūgagaṇe, thambhaṃ ahāsahaṃ tadā;

Haṭṭho haṭṭhena cittena, paṭhamaṃ ussapesahaṃ.

Ubbiddhaṃ bhavanaṃ mayhaṃ, sattabhūmaṃ ⁴ samuggataṃ.

21.

‘‘Vajjamānāsu bherīsu, paricāremahaṃ sadā;

Pañcapaññāsakappamhi, rājā āsiṃ yasodharo.

22.

‘‘Tatthāpi bhavanaṃ mayhaṃ, sattabhūmaṃ samuggataṃ;

Kūṭāgāravarūpetaṃ, ekatthambhaṃ manoramaṃ.

23.

‘‘Ekavīsatikappamhi, udeno nāma khattiyo;

Tatrāpi bhavanaṃ mayhaṃ, sattabhūmaṃ samuggataṃ.

24.

‘‘Yaṃ yaṃ yonupapajjāmi, devattaṃ atha mānusaṃ;

Anubhomi sukhaṃ sabbaṃ ⁶, ekatthambhassidaṃ phalaṃ.

25.

‘‘Catunnavutito kappe, yaṃ thambhamadadaṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, ekatthambhassidaṃ phalaṃ.

26.

‘‘Paṭisambhidā catasso, vimokkhāpi ca aṭṭhime;

Chaḷabhiññā sacchikatā, kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ’’.
