Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa

Kaṅkhāvitaraṇī-aṭṭhakathā

Ganthārambhakathā

Buddhaṃ dhammañca saṅghañca, vippasannena cetasā;

Vanditvā vandanāmāna, pūjāsakkārabhājanaṃ.

Theravaṃsappadīpānaṃ, thirānaṃ vinayakkame;

Pubbācariyasīhānaṃ, namo katvā katañjalī.

Pāmokkhaṃ anavajjānaṃ, dhammānaṃ yaṃ mahesinā;

Mukhaṃ mokkhappavesāya, pātimokkhaṃ pakāsitaṃ.

Sūratena nivātena, sucisallekhavuttinā;

Vinayācārayuttena, soṇattherena yācito.

Tattha sañjātakaṅkhānaṃ, bhikkhūnaṃ tassa vaṇṇanaṃ;

Kaṅkhāvitaraṇatthāya, paripuṇṇavinicchayaṃ.

Mahāvihāravāsīnaṃ, vācanāmagganissitaṃ;

Vattayissāmi nāmena, kaṅkhāvitaraṇiṃ subhanti.
