‘‘Issattaṃ ⁷ balavīriyañca ⁸, yasmiṃ vijjetha māṇave;

Taṃ yuddhattho bhare rājā, nāsūraṃ jātipaccayā.

‘‘Tatheva khantisoraccaṃ, dhammā yasmiṃ patiṭṭhitā;

Ariyavuttiṃ medhāviṃ, hīnajaccampi pūjaye.

‘‘Kāraye assame ramme, vāsayettha bahussute;

Papañca vivane kayirā, dugge saṅkamanāni ca.

‘‘Annaṃ pānaṃ khādanīyaṃ, vatthasenāsanāni ca;

Dadeyya ujubhūtesu, vippasannena cetasā.

‘‘Yathā hi megho thanayaṃ, vijjumālī satakkaku;

Thalaṃ ninnañca pūreti, abhivassaṃ vasundharaṃ.

‘‘Tatheva saddho sutavā, abhisaṅkhacca bhojanaṃ;

Vanibbake tappayati, annapānena paṇḍito.

‘‘Āmodamāno pakireti, detha dethāti bhāsati;

Taṃ hissa gajjitaṃ hoti, devasseva pavassato;

Sā puññadhārā vipulā, dātāraṃ abhivassatī’’ti.
