Pañcasatikakkhandhako ekādasamo.

Imamhi khandhake vatthū tevīsati.

Tassuddānaṃ –

Parinibbute sambuddhe, thero kassapasavhayo;

Āmantayi bhikkhugaṇaṃ, saddhammamanupālako;

Pāvāyaddhānamaggamhi, subhaddena paveditaṃ;

Saṅgāyissāma saddhammaṃ, adhammo pure dippati.

Ekenūna pañcasataṃ, ānandampi ca uccini;

Dhammavinayasaṅgītiṃ, vasanto guhamuttame.

Upāliṃ vinayaṃ pucchi, suttantānandapaṇḍitaṃ;

Piṭakaṃ tīṇi saṅgītiṃ, akaṃsu jinasāvakā.

Na pucchi akkamitvāna, vandāpesi na yāci ca.

Pabbajjaṃ mātugāmassa, saddhāya dukkaṭāni me;

Purāṇo brahmadaṇḍañca, orodho udenena saha.

Tāva bahu dubbalañca, uttarattharaṇā bhisi;

Bhūmattharaṇā puñchaniyo, rajo cikkhallamaddanā.

Sahassacīvaraṃ uppajji, paṭhamānandasavhayo;

Tajjito brahmadaṇḍena, catussaccaṃ apāpuṇi;

Vasībhūtā pañcasatā, tasmā pañcasatī iti.

Pañcasatikakkhandhakaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.
