‘‘Apāṭaliṃ ahaṃ pupphaṃ, ujjhitaṃ sumahāpathe;

Thūpamhi abhiropesiṃ, sikhino lokabandhuno.

2.

‘‘Ekattiṃse ito kappe, yaṃ kammamakariṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, thūpapūjāyidaṃ phalaṃ.

3.

‘‘Ito pannarase kappe, bhūmiyo ² nāma khattiyo;

Sattaratanasampanno, cakkavattī mahabbalo.

4.

‘‘Paṭisambhidā catasso, vimokkhāpi ca aṭṭhime;

Chaḷabhiññā sacchikatā, kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ’’.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā nāgasamālo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Nāgasamālattherassāpadānaṃ paṭhamaṃ.
