“Yadā paṭha­ma­maddak­khiṃ,
­satthā­ra­ma­kuto­bhayaṃ;
Tato me ahu saṃvego,
passitvā purisuttamaṃ.

Siriṃ hatthehi pādehi,
yo paṇāmeyya āgataṃ;
Etādisaṃ so satthāraṃ,
ārādhetvā virādhaye.

Tadāhaṃ puttadārañca,
dhanadhaññañca chaḍḍayiṃ;
Kesamassūni chedetvā,
pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ.

Sikkhā­sājīva­sam­panno,
indriyesu susaṃvuto;
Namassamāno sambuddhaṃ,
vihāsiṃ aparājito.

Tato me paṇidhī āsi,
cetaso abhipatthito;
Na nisīde muhuttampi,
taṇhāsalle anūhate.

Tassa mevaṃ viharato,
passa vīriya­pa­rakka­maṃ;
Tisso vijjā anuppattā,
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

Pubbenivāsaṃ jānāmi,
dibbacakkhu visodhitaṃ;
Arahā dakkhiṇeyyomhi,
vippamutto nirūpadhi.

Tato ratyā vivasāne,
sūriyuggamanaṃ pati;
Sabbaṃ taṇhaṃ visosetvā,
pallaṅkena upāvisin”ti.

… Mahāpanthako thero ….

Aṭṭhakanipāto niṭṭhito.

Tatruddānaṃ

Mahākaccāyano thero,
sirimitto mahāpanthako;
Ete aṭṭhanipātamhi,
gāthāyo catuvīsatīti.
