“Tañcāhaṃ abhinandāmi,
mahesi santimuttamaṃ;
Yaṃ viditvā sato caraṃ,
tare loke visattikan”ti.

Yaṃ kiñci sampajānāsi, (dhotakāti bhagavā)
Uddhaṃ adho tiriyañcāpi majjhe;
Etaṃ viditvā saṅgoti loke,
Bhavābhavāya mākāsi taṇhaṃ. (8)

Yaṃ kiñci sampajānāsīti yaṃ kiñci sampajānāsi ājānāsi paṭivijānāsi paṭivijjhasīti—yaṃ kiñci sampajānāsi. Dhotakāti bhagavāti. Dhotakāti bhagavā taṃ brāhmaṇaṃ nāmena ālapati. Bhagavāti gāra­vādhi­vacana­metaṃ … pe … sacchikā paññatti, yadidaṃ bhagavāti—dhotakāti bhagavā.

Uddhaṃ adho tiriyañcāpi majjheti. Uddhanti anāgataṃ; adhoti atītaṃ; tiriyañcāpi majjheti paccuppannaṃ. Uddhanti devaloko; adhoti apāyaloko; tiriyañcāpi majjheti manussaloko. Atha vā uddhanti kusalā dhammā; adhoti akusalā dhammā; tiriyañcāpi majjheti abyākatā dhammā. Uddhanti arūpadhātu; adhoti kāmadhātu; tiriyañcāpi majjheti rūpadhātu. Uddhanti sukhā vedanā; adhoti dukkhā vedanā; tiriyañcāpi majjheti adukkhamasukhā vedanā. Uddhanti uddhaṃ pādatalā; adhoti adho kesamatthakā; tiriyañcāpi majjheti vemajjheti—uddhaṃ adho tiriyañcāpi majjhe.
