‘‘Siddhatthassa bhagavato, mahāpūgagaṇo ahu;

Saraṇaṃ gatā ca te buddhaṃ, saddahanti tathāgataṃ.

‘‘Sabbe saṅgamma mantetvā, māḷaṃ kubbanti satthuno;

‘‘Tehaṃ araññe disvāna, upagamma gaṇaṃ tadā;

Añjaliṃ paggahetvāna, paṭipucchiṃ gaṇaṃ ahaṃ.

‘‘Te me puṭṭhā viyākaṃsu, sīlavanto upāsakā;

Māḷaṃ mayaṃ kattukāmā, ekatthambho na labbhati.

‘‘Ekatthambhaṃ mamaṃ detha, ahaṃ dassāmi satthuno;

Āharissāmahaṃ thambhaṃ, appossukkā bhavantu te.

‘‘Te me thambhaṃ pavecchiṃsu, pasannā tuṭṭhamānasā;

‘‘Aciraṃ gate pūgagaṇe, thambhaṃ ahāsahaṃ tadā;

Haṭṭho haṭṭhena cittena, paṭhamaṃ ussapesahaṃ.

‘‘Tena cittappasādena, vimānaṃ upapajjahaṃ;

Ubbiddhaṃ bhavanaṃ mayhaṃ, sattabhūmaṃ samuggataṃ.

‘‘Vajjamānāsu bherīsu, paricāremahaṃ sadā;
