“Taṃ maṃ padhā­na­pahitat­taṃ,
nadiṃ nerañjaraṃ pati;
Viparakkamma jhāyantaṃ,

Namucī karuṇaṃ vācaṃ,
bhāsamāno upāgami;
‘ Kiso tvamasi dubbaṇṇo,
santike maraṇaṃ tava.

Sahassabhāgo maraṇassa,
ekaṃso tava jīvitaṃ;
Jīva bho jīvitaṃ seyyo,

Carato ca te brahmacariyaṃ,
Aggihuttañca jūhato;
Pahūtaṃ cīyate puññaṃ,
Kiṃ padhānena kāhasi.

Duggo maggo padhānāya,

Imā gāthā bhaṇaṃ māro,

Taṃ tathāvādinaṃ māraṃ,

“ Pamattabandhu pāpima,
yenatthena idhāgato.

Aṇumattopi puññena,
Attho mayhaṃ na vijjati;
Yesañca attho puññena,
Te māro vattumarahati.

Atthi saddhā tathā viriyaṃ,

Evaṃ maṃ pahitattampi,

Nadīnamapi sotāni,

Kiñca me pahitattassa,

Lohite sussamānamhi,
Pittaṃ semhañca sussati;
Maṃsesu khīyamānesu,

Passa sattassa suddhataṃ.

Kāmā te paṭhamā senā,
Dutiyā arati vuccati;
Tatiyā khuppipāsā te,
Catutthī taṇhā pavuccati.

Pañcamaṃ thinamiddhaṃ te,
Chaṭṭhā bhīrū pavuccati;
Sattamī vicikicchā te,
Makkho thambho te aṭṭhamo.

Yo cattānaṃ samukkaṃse,
Pare ca avajānati.

Esā namuci te senā,

Esa muñjaṃ parihare,
Dhiratthu mama jīvitaṃ;
Saṅgāme me mataṃ seyyo,
Yañce jīve parājito.

Yattha gantvā na socare”.

“Satta vassāni bhagavantaṃ,
Anubandhiṃ padāpadaṃ;
