‘‘Devaloke manusse ce, anubhotvā ubho yase;

Avasāne ca nibbānaṃ, sivaṃ patto anuttaraṃ.

‘‘Sambuddhaṃ uddisitvāna, bodhiṃ vā tassa satthuno;

Yo puññaṃ pasavī poso, tassa kiṃ nāma dullabhaṃ.

‘‘Magge phale āgame ca, jhānābhiññāguṇesu ca;

Aññesaṃ adhiko hutvā, nibbāyāmi anāsavo.

‘‘Purehaṃ bodhiyā pattaṃ, chaḍḍetvā haṭṭhamānaso;

Imehi vīsataṅgehi, samaṅgī homi sabbathā.

‘‘Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ…pe… kataṃ buddhassa sāsana’’nti.

Arahattaṃ pana patvā thero aññaṃ byākaronto satthāraṃ pūjetuṃ tameva gāthaṃ abhāsi.

Tissattheragāthāvaṇṇanā niṭṭhitā.
