“Sindhuyā nadiyā tīre,
sukato assamo mama;
Tattha vācemahaṃ sisse,
itihāsaṃ salakkhaṇaṃ.

Dhammakāmā vinītā te,
sotukāmā susāsanaṃ;
Chaḷaṅge pāramippattā,
sindhukūle vasanti te.

Uppātagamane ceva,
lakkhaṇesu ca kovidā;
Uttamatthaṃ gavesantā,
vasanti vipine tadā.

Sumedho nāma sambuddho,
loke uppajji tāvade;
Amhākaṃ anukampanto,
upāgacchi vināyako.

Upāgataṃ mahāvīraṃ,
sumedhaṃ lokanāyakaṃ;
Tiṇasan­thāra­kaṃ katvā,
loka­jeṭ­ṭhassadā­sahaṃ.

Vipināto madhuṃ gayha,
buddha­seṭṭhas­sadāsa­haṃ;
Sambuddho paribhuñjitvā,
idaṃ vacanamabravi.

‘Yo taṃ adāsi madhuṃ me,
pasanno sehi pāṇibhi;
Tamahaṃ kittayissāmi,
suṇātha mama bhāsato.

Iminā madhudānena,
tiṇasan­thāra­kena ca;
Tiṃsa kappasahassāni,
devaloke ramissati.

Tiṃsa kappa­sahas­samhi,
okkā­kakula­sam­bhavo;
Gotamo nāma gottena,
satthā loke bhavissati.

Tassa dhammesu dāyādo,
oraso dhammanimmito;
Sabbāsave pariññāya,
nib­bā­yis­sati­nāsavo’.

Devalokā idhāgantvā,
mātukucchiṃ upāgate;
Madhuvassaṃ pavassittha,
chādayaṃ madhunā mahiṃ.

Mayi nikkhan­ta­mattamhi,
kucchiyā ca suduttarā;
Tatrāpi madhuvassaṃ me,
vassate niccakālikaṃ.

Agārā abhinikkhamma,
pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ;
Lābhī annassa pānassa,
madhudānas­sidaṃ phalaṃ.

Sabba­kāma­samid­dho­haṃ,
bhavitvā devamānuse;
Teneva madhudānena,
pattomhi āsavakkhayaṃ.

Vuṭṭhamhi deve caturaṅgule tiṇe,
Sampupphite dharaṇīruhe sañchanne;
Suññe ghare maṇḍa­pa­rukkha­mūlake,
Vasāmi niccaṃ sukhito anāsavo.

Majjhe mahante hīne ca,
bhave sabbe atikkamiṃ;
Ajja me āsavā khīṇā,
natthi dāni punabbhavo.

Tiṃ­sakap­pa­sahas­samhi,
yaṃ dānamadadiṃ tadā;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
madhudānas­sidaṃ phalaṃ.

Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ,
bhavā sabbe samūhatā;
Sabbāsavā parikkhīṇā,
natthi dāni punabbhavo.

Svāgataṃ vata me āsi,
… pe …
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
… pe …
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā madhudāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Madhu­dāyakat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ catutthaṃ.
