‘‘Uyyānabhūmiṃ niyyanto, addasaṃ lokanāyakaṃ;

Vaṭaṃsakaṃ gahetvāna, sovaṇṇaṃ sādhunimmitaṃ.

35.

‘‘Sīghaṃ tato samāruyha, hatthikkhandhagato ahaṃ;

Buddhassa abhiropesiṃ, sikhino lokabandhuno.

36.

‘‘Ekattiṃse ito kappe, yaṃ pupphamabhiropayiṃ;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, pupphapūjāyidaṃ phalaṃ.

37.

‘‘Sattavīse ito kappe, eko āsiṃ janādhipo;

Mahāpatāpanāmena, cakkavattī mahabbalo.

38.

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

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā sovaṇṇavaṭaṃsakiyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Sovaṇṇavaṭaṃsakiyattherassāpadānaṃ sattamaṃ.
