‘‘Migaluddo pure āsi, araññe vipine ahaṃ;

Addasaṃ virajaṃ buddhaṃ, devasaṅghapurakkhataṃ.

‘‘Catusaccaṃ pakāsentaṃ, desentaṃ, amataṃ padaṃ;

Assosiṃ madhuraṃ dhammaṃ, sikhino lokabandhuno.

‘‘Ghose cittaṃ pasādesiṃ, asamappaṭipuggale;

Tattha cittaṃ pasādetvā, uttariṃ duttaraṃ bhavaṃ.

‘‘Ekatiṃse ito kappe, yaṃ saññamalabhiṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, ghosasaññāyidaṃ phalaṃ.

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