“Petāni bhoti puttāni,
khādamānā tuvaṃ pure;
Tuvaṃ divā ca ratto ca,
atīva paritappasi.

Sājja sabbāni khāditvā,
sataputtāni brāhmaṇī;
Vāseṭṭhi kena vaṇṇena,
na bāḷhaṃ paritappasi”.

“Bahūni puttasatāni,
ñāti­saṅgha­satāni ca;
Khāditāni atītaṃse,
mama tuyhañca brāhmaṇa.

Sāhaṃ nissaraṇaṃ ñatvā,
jātiyā maraṇassa ca;
Na socāmi na rodāmi,
na cāpi paritappayiṃ”.

“Abbhutaṃ vata vāseṭṭhi,
vācaṃ bhāsasi edisiṃ;
Kassa tvaṃ dhammamaññāya,
giraṃ bhāsasi edisiṃ”.

“Esa brāhmaṇa sambuddho,
nagaraṃ mithilaṃ pati;
Sabba­duk­khap­pahā­nāya,
dhammaṃ desesi pāṇinaṃ.

Tassa brahme arahato,
dhammaṃ sutvā nirūpadhiṃ;
Tattha viñ­ñā­ta­saddhammā,
puttasokaṃ byapānudiṃ”.

“So ahampi gamissāmi,
nagaraṃ mithilaṃ pati;
Appeva maṃ so bhagavā,
sabbadukkhā pamocaye”.

Addasa brāhmaṇo buddhaṃ,
vippamuttaṃ nirūpadhiṃ;
Svassa dhammamadesesi,
muni dukkhassa pāragū.

Dukkhaṃ duk­kha­sa­muppādaṃ,
dukkhassa ca atikkamaṃ;
Ariyaṃ caṭṭhaṅgikaṃ maggaṃ,
duk­khū­pasa­ma­gā­minaṃ.

Tattha viñ­ñā­ta­saddhammo,
pabbajjaṃ samarocayi;
Sujāto tīhi rattīhi,
tisso vijjā aphassayi.

“Ehi sārathi gacchāhi,
rathaṃ niyyādayāhimaṃ;
Ārogyaṃ brāhmaṇiṃ vajja,
‘pabbaji dāni brāhmaṇo;
Sujāto tīhi rattīhi,
tisso vijjā aphassayi’”.

Tato ca rathamādāya,
sahassañcāpi sārathi;
Ārogyaṃ brāhmaṇiṃvoca,
“pabbaji dāni brāhmaṇo;
Sujāto tīhi rattīhi,
tisso vijjā aphassayi”.

“Etañcāhaṃ assarathaṃ,
sahassañcāpi sārathi;
Tevijjaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ sutvā,
puṇṇapattaṃ dadāmi te”.

“Tuyheva hotvassaratho,
sahassañcāpi brāhmaṇi;
Ahampi pabbajissāmi,
varapaññassa santike”.

“Hatthī gavassaṃ maṇikuṇḍalañca,
Phītañcimaṃ gahavibhavaṃ pahāya;
Pitā pabbajito tuyhaṃ,
Bhuñja bhogāni sundarī;
Tuvaṃ dāyādikā kule”.

“Hatthī gavassaṃ maṇikuṇḍalañca,
Rammaṃ cimaṃ gahavibhavaṃ pahāya;
Pitā pabbajito mayhaṃ,
Puttasokena aṭṭito;
Ahampi pabbajissāmi,
Bhātusokena aṭṭitā”.

“So te ijjhatu saṅkappo,
yaṃ tvaṃ patthesi sundarī;
Uttiṭṭhapiṇḍo uñcho ca,
paṃsukūlañca cīvaraṃ;
Etāni abhisambhontī,

“Sikkhamānāya me ayye,
dibbacakkhu visodhitaṃ;
Pubbenivāsaṃ jānāmi,
yattha me vusitaṃ pure.

Tuvaṃ nissāya kalyāṇi,
theri saṃghassa sobhane;
Tisso vijjā anuppattā,
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

Anujānāhi me ayye,
icche sāvatthi gantave;
Sīhanādaṃ nadissāmi,
buddha­seṭṭhassa santike”.

“Passa sundari satthāraṃ,
hemavaṇṇaṃ harittacaṃ;
Adantānaṃ dametāraṃ,
­sambud­dha­ma­kuto­bhayaṃ”.

“Passa sun­dari­māyan­tiṃ,
vippamuttaṃ nirūpadhiṃ;
Vītarāgaṃ visaṃyuttaṃ,
kata­kicca­ma­nāsa­vaṃ.

Bārāṇasito nikkhamma,
tava santikamāgatā;
Sāvikā te mahāvīra,
pāde vandati sundarī.

Tuvaṃ buddho tuvaṃ satthā,
tuyhaṃ dhītāmhi brāhmaṇa;
Orasā mukhato jātā,
katakiccā anāsavā”.

“Tassā te svāgataṃ bhadde,
tato te adurāgataṃ;
Evañhi dantā āyanti,
satthu pādāni vandikā;
Vītarāgā visaṃyuttā,
katakiccā anāsavā”.
