‘‘Pabbate himavantamhi, vasāmi pabbatantare;

Pulinaṃ sobhanaṃ disvā, buddhaseṭṭhaṃ anussariṃ.

‘‘Ñāṇe upanidhā natthi, saṅkhāraṃ natthi satthuno;

Sabbadhammaṃ abhiññāya, ñāṇena adhimuccati.

‘‘Namo te purisājañña, namo te purisuttama;

Ñāṇena te samo natthi, yāvatā ñāṇamuttamaṃ.

‘‘Ñāṇe cittaṃ pasādetvā, kappaṃ saggamhi modahaṃ;

Avasesesu kappesu, kusalaṃ caritaṃ mayā.

‘‘Ekanavutito kappe, yaṃ saññamalabhiṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, ñāṇasaññāyidaṃ phalaṃ.

‘‘Ito sattatikappamhi, eko pulinapupphiyo;
