Tatthajo rakkhaso āsiṃ, ghorarūpo mahabbalo.

Ocināmi ca taṃ pupphaṃ, balino samitiṃ tadā.

Pupphasaṅkocitaṃ ² disvā, āgacchi mama santikaṃ.

Sabbañca pupphaṃ paggayha, buddhassa abhiropayiṃ.

Tāvacchadanasampanno, agamāsi tathāgato.

Sahassarathanāmā te, cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Kumudamāliyattherassāpadānaṃ paṭhamaṃ.
