“Punāparaṃ yadā homi,
kāsirājassa atrajo;
Ayogharamhi saṃvaḍḍho,
nāmenāsi ayogharo.

‘Dukkhena jīvito laddho,
saṃpīḷe patiposito;
Ajjeva putta paṭipajja,
kevalaṃ vasudhaṃ imaṃ’.

Saraṭṭhakaṃ sanigamaṃ,
sajanaṃ vanditva khattiyaṃ;
Añjaliṃ paggahetvāna,
idaṃ vacanamabraviṃ.

‘Ye keci mahiyā sattā,
hīna­mukkaṭ­ṭha­maj­jhimā;
Nirārakkhā sake gehe,
vaḍḍhanti sakañātibhi.

Idaṃ loke uttariyaṃ,
saṃpīḷe mama posanaṃ;
Ayogharamhi saṃvaḍḍho,
appabhe candasūriye.

Pūti­kuṇapa­sam­puṇṇā,
muccitvā mātukucchito;
Tato ghoratare dukkhe,
puna ­pak­khit­ta­yoghare.

Yadihaṃ tādisaṃ patvā,
dukkhaṃ paramadāruṇaṃ;
Rajjesu yadi rajjāmi,
pāpānaṃ uttamo siyaṃ.

Ukkaṇṭhitomhi kāyena,
rajjenamhi anatthiko;
Nibbutiṃ pariyesissaṃ,
yattha maṃ maccu na maddiye’.

Evāhaṃ cintayitvāna,
viravante mahājane;
Nāgova bandhanaṃ chetvā,
pāvisiṃ kānanaṃ vanaṃ.

Mātāpitā na me dessā,
napi me dessaṃ mahāyasaṃ;
Sabbaññutaṃ piyaṃ mayhaṃ,
tasmā rajjaṃ pariccajin”ti.

Ayo­ghara­cari­yaṃ tatiyaṃ.
