‘‘Ye me pubbe viyākaṃsu, [iccāyasmā hemako]

Huraṃ gotamasāsanā;

Iccāsi iti bhavissati, sabbaṃ taṃ itihītihaṃ;

Sabbaṃ taṃ takkavaḍḍhanaṃ, nāhaṃ tattha abhiramiṃ.

‘‘Tvañca me dhammamakkhāhi, taṇhānigghātanaṃ muni;

Yaṃ viditvā sato caraṃ, tare loke visattikaṃ’’.

‘‘Idha diṭṭhasutamutaviññātesu, piyarūpesu hemaka;

Chandarāgavinodanaṃ, nibbānapadamaccutaṃ.

‘‘Etadaññāya ye satā, diṭṭhadhammābhinibbutā;

Upasantā ca te sadā, tiṇṇā loke visattika’’nti.
