“Ye me pubbe viyākaṃsu,
(iccāyasmā hemako):
Huraṃ gotamasāsanā;
Iccāsi iti bhavissati,
Sabbaṃ taṃ itihītihaṃ;
Sabbaṃ taṃ takkavaḍḍhanaṃ,
Nāhaṃ tattha abhiramiṃ.

Tvañca me dhammamakkhāhi,
taṇhā­nig­ghāta­naṃ muni;
Yaṃ viditvā sato caraṃ,
tare loke visattikaṃ”.

“Idha diṭṭha­suta­muta­viñ­ñā­tesu,
Piyarūpesu hemaka;
Chanda­rāga­vinoda­naṃ,
Nib­bā­na­pada­maccutaṃ.

Etadaññāya ye satā,
Diṭṭha­dhammā­bhi­nibbutā;
Upasantā ca te sadā,
Tiṇṇā loke visattikan”ti.

Hemaka­māṇava­pucchā aṭṭhamā.
