‘‘Jiṇṇohamasmi abalo vītavaṇṇo, [iccāyasmā piṅgiyo]

Nettā na suddhā savanaṃ na phāsu;

Māhaṃ nassaṃ momuho antarāva, ācikkha dhammaṃ yamahaṃ vijaññaṃ;

Jātijarāya idha vippahānaṃ’’.

146.

‘‘Disvāna rūpesu vihaññamāne, [piṅgiyāti bhagavā]

Ruppanti rūpesu janā pamattā;

Tasmā tuvaṃ piṅgiya appamatto, jahassu rūpaṃ apunabbhavāya’’.

147.

‘‘Disā catasso vidisā catasso, uddhaṃ adho dasa disā imāyo;

Na tuyhaṃ adiṭṭhaṃ asutaṃ amutaṃ ³, atho aviññātaṃ kiñcanamatthi ⁴ loke;

Ācikkha dhammaṃ yamahaṃ vijaññaṃ, jātijarāya idha vippahānaṃ’’.

148.

‘‘Taṇhādhipanne manuje pekkhamāno, [piṅgiyāti bhagavā]

Santāpajāte jarasā parete;

Tasmā tuvaṃ piṅgiya appamatto, jahassu taṇhaṃ apunabbhavāyā’’ti.

Piṅgiyamāṇavapucchā soḷasamā.
