Vigatadarathakilamatho,

Imamapi ca paramapi ca ¹³⁶ passati lokaṃ.

‘‘Tassovādakarā bahugihī ca pabbajitā ca,

Asuciṃ garahitaṃ dhunanti pāpaṃ;

Sa hi sucibhi parivuto bhavati,

Malakhilakalikilese panudehī’’ti ¹³⁸.

Idamavoca bhagavā. Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandunti.

Lakkhaṇasuttaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ sattamaṃ.
