‘‘Nisinno pāsādavare, nārīgaṇapurakkhato;

Byādhitaṃ samaṇaṃ disvā, abhināmesahaṃ gharaṃ.

45.

‘‘Upaviṭṭhaṃ mahāvīraṃ, devadevaṃ narāsabhaṃ;

Sappitelaṃ mayā dinnaṃ, siddhatthassa mahesino.

46.

‘‘Passaddhadarathaṃ disvā, vippasannamukhindriyaṃ;

Vanditvā satthuno pāde, anusaṃsāvayiṃ pure.

47.

‘‘Disvā maṃ suppasannattaṃ ², iddhiyā pāramiṅgato;

Nabhaṃ abbhuggamī dhīro, haṃsarājāva ambare.

48.

‘‘Catunnavutito kappe, yaṃ dānamadadiṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, sappitelassidaṃ phalaṃ.

49.

‘‘Ito sattarase kappe, jutideva ⁴ sanāmako;

Sattaratanasampanno, cakkavattī mahabbalo.

50.

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

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā sappidāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.
