“Kā vedhamānā girikandarāyaṃ,
Ekā tuvaṃ tiṭṭhasi saṃhitūru;
Puṭṭhāsi me pāṇi­pa­mey­ya­majjhe,
Akkhāhi me nāmañca bandhave ca.

Obhāsayaṃ vanaṃ rammaṃ,
sīhabyag­gha­nisevi­taṃ;
Kā vā tvamasi kalyāṇi,
kassa vā tvaṃ sumajjhime;
Abhivādemi taṃ bhadde,
dānavāhaṃ namatthu te”.

“Yo putto kāsirājassa,
sotthisenoti taṃ vidū;
Tassāhaṃ sambulā bhariyā,
evaṃ jānāhi dānava;
Abhivādemi taṃ bhante,

Vedehaputto bhaddante,

Tamahaṃ rogasammattaṃ,

Ahañca vanamuñchāya,
Madhumaṃsaṃ migābilaṃ;
Yadāharāmi taṃ bhakkho,
Tassa nūnajja nādhati”.

“Kiṃ vane rājaputtena,

Aññaṃ pariyesa bhaddante,

Tāsaṃ tvaṃ pavarā hohi,

Nūna tārakavaṇṇābhe,

Sabbaṃ taṃ pacuraṃ mayhaṃ,

No ce tuvaṃ maheseyyaṃ,
Sambule kārayissasi;
Alaṃ tvaṃ pātarāsāya,
Paṇhe bhakkhā bhavissasi”.
