‘‘Himavantassāvidūre, vasalo nāma pabbato;

Buddho sudassano nāma, vasate pabbatantare.

‘‘Pupphaṃ hemavantaṃ gayha, vehāsaṃ agamāsahaṃ;

Tatthaddasāsiṃ sambuddhaṃ, oghatiṇṇamanāsavaṃ.

‘‘Pupphaṃ kuṭajamādāya, sīse katvānahaṃ tadā;

Buddhassa abhiropesiṃ, sayambhussa mahesino.

‘‘Ekatiṃse ito kappe, yaṃ pupphamabhipūjayiṃ;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, pupphapūjāyidaṃ phalaṃ.
