335.

‘‘Sādhū hi kira me mātā, patodaṃ upadaṃsayi;

Yassāhaṃ vacanaṃ sutvā, anusiṭṭho janettiyā;

Āraddhavīriyo pahitatto, patto sambodhimuttamaṃ.

336.

‘‘Arahā dakkhiṇeyyomhi, tevijjo amataddaso;

Jetvā namucino senaṃ, viharāmi anāsavo.

337.

‘‘Ajjhattañca bahiddhā ca, ye me vijjiṃsu āsavā;

Sabbe asesā ucchinnā, na ca uppajjare puna.

338.

‘‘Visāradā kho bhaginī, etamatthaṃ abhāsayi;

‘Apihā nūna mayipi, vanatho te na vijjati’.

339.

‘‘Pariyantakataṃ dukkhaṃ, antimoyaṃ samussayo;

Jātimaraṇasaṃsāro, natthi dāni punabbhavo’’ti.
