4. Taraṇiyattheraapadānaṃ

15.

‘‘Atthadassī tu bhagavā, dvipadindo narāsabho;

Purakkhato sāvakehi, gaṅgātīramupāgami.

16.

‘‘Samatitti kākapeyyā, gaṅgā āsi duruttarā;

Uttārayiṃ bhikkhusaṅghaṃ, buddhañca dvipaduttamaṃ.

17.

‘‘Aṭṭhārase kappasate, yaṃ kammamakariṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, taraṇāya idaṃ phalaṃ.

18.

‘‘Teraseto kappasate, pañca sabbobhavā ² ahuṃ;

Sattaratanasampannā, cakkavattī mahabbalā.

19.

‘‘Pacchime ca bhave asmiṃ, jātohaṃ brāhmaṇe kule;

Saddhiṃ tīhi sahāyehi, pabbajiṃ satthu sāsane.

20.

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

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā taraṇiyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti;

Taraṇiyattherassāpadānaṃ catutthaṃ.
