‘‘Vipassissa bhagavato, mahāpūgagaṇo ahu;

Veyyāvaccakaro āsiṃ, sabbakiccesu vāvaṭo.

‘‘Deyyadhammo ca me natthi, sugatassa mahesino;

Avandiṃ satthuno pāde, vippasannena cetasā.

‘‘Ekanavutito kappe, veyyāvaccaṃ akāsahaṃ;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, veyyāvaccassidaṃ phalaṃ.

‘‘Ito ca aṭṭhame kappe, rājā āsiṃ sucintito;

Sattaratanasampanno, cakkavattī mahabbalo.

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