Gotamo nāma gottena, satthā loke bhavissati.

‘‘‘Devalokā cavitvāna, sukkamūlena codito;

Aḍḍhe kule mahābhoge, nibbattissati tāvade.

107.

Raṭṭhapāloti nāmena, hessati satthu sāvako.

Sabbāsave pariññāya, nibbāyissatināsavo’.

Dhāremi antimaṃ dehaṃ, sammāsambuddhasāsane.

‘‘Paṭisambhidā catasso, vimokkhāpi ca aṭṭhime;

Chaḷabhiññā sacchikatā, kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ’’.
