Kañcanagghiyasaṅkāsaṃ, bāttiṃsavaralakkhaṇaṃ.

‘‘Seṭṭhiputto tadā āsiṃ, sukhumālo sukhedhito;

Ucchaṅge pāṭalipupphaṃ, katvāna ² abhisaṃhariṃ.

38.

‘‘Haṭṭho haṭṭhena cittena, pupphehi abhipūjayiṃ;

Tissaṃ lokaviduṃ nāthaṃ, naradevaṃ namassahaṃ.

39.

‘‘Dvenavute ito kappe, yaṃ kammamakariṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, pupphapūjāyidaṃ phalaṃ.

40.

‘‘Ito tesaṭṭhikappamhi, abhisammatanāmako;

Sattaratanasampanno, cakkavattī mahabbalo.
