‘‘Sindhuyā nadiyā tīre, sukato assamo mama;

Tattha vācemahaṃ sisse, itihāsaṃ salakkhaṇaṃ.

334.

‘‘Dhammakāmā vinītā te, sotukāmā susāsanaṃ;

Chaḷaṅge pāramippattā, sindhukūle vasanti te.

335.

‘‘Uppātagamane ceva, lakkhaṇesu ca kovidā;

Uttamatthaṃ gavesantā, vasanti vipine tadā.

336.

‘‘Sumedho nāma sambuddho, loke uppajji tāvade;

Amhākaṃ anukampanto, upāgacchi vināyako.

337.

‘‘Upāgataṃ mahāvīraṃ, sumedhaṃ lokanāyakaṃ;

Tiṇasanthārakaṃ katvā, lokajeṭṭhassadāsahaṃ.

338.

‘‘Vipināto madhuṃ gayha, buddhaseṭṭhassadāsahaṃ;

Sambuddho paribhuñjitvā, idaṃ vacanamabravi.

339.

‘‘‘Yo taṃ adāsi madhuṃ me, pasanno sehi pāṇibhi;

Tamahaṃ kittayissāmi, suṇātha mama bhāsato.

340.

‘‘‘Iminā madhudānena, tiṇasanthārakena ca;

Tiṃsa kappasahassāni, devaloke ramissati.

341.

‘‘‘Tiṃsa kappasahassamhi, okkākakulasambhavo;

Gotamo nāma gottena, satthā loke bhavissati.

342.

‘‘‘Tassa dhammesu dāyādo, oraso dhammanimmito;

Sabbāsave pariññāya, nibbāyissatināsavo.

343.

‘‘‘Devalokā idhāgantvā, mātukucchiṃ upāgate;

Madhuvassaṃ pavassittha, chādayaṃ madhunā mahiṃ’.

344.

‘‘Mayi nikkhantamattamhi, kucchiyā ca suduttarā;

Tatrāpi madhuvassaṃ me, vassate niccakālikaṃ.

345.

‘‘Agārā abhinikkhamma, pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ;

Lābhī annassa pānassa, madhudānassidaṃ phalaṃ.

346.

‘‘Sabbakāmasamiddhohaṃ, bhavitvā devamānuse;

Teneva madhudānena, pattomhi āsavakkhayaṃ.

347.

‘‘Vuṭṭhamhi deve caturaṅgule tiṇe, sampupphite ³ dharaṇīruhe sañchanne ⁴;

Suññe ghare maṇḍaparukkhamūlake, vasāmi niccaṃ sukhito anāsavo.

348.

‘‘Majjhe mahante hīne ca ⁷, bhave sabbe atikkamiṃ ⁸;

Ajja me āsavā khīṇā, natthi dāni punabbhavo.

349.

‘‘Tiṃsakappasahassamhi, yaṃ dānamadadiṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, madhudānassidaṃ phalaṃ.

350.

‘‘Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ, bhavā sabbe samūhatā;

Sabbāsavā parikkhīṇā, natthi dāni punabbhavo.

351.

‘‘Svāgataṃ vata me āsi…pe… kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

352.

‘‘Paṭisambhidā catasso…pe… kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ’’.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā madhudāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.
