“Parinibbute bhagavati,
jala­juttama­nāmake;
Āropitamhi citake,
sāla­puppha­mapū­jayiṃ.

Satasahassito kappe,
Yaṃ puppha­ma­bhiro­payiṃ;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
Citapūjāyidaṃ phalaṃ.

Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ,
bhavā sabbe samūhatā;
Nāgova bandhanaṃ chetvā,
viharāmi anāsavo.

Svāgataṃ vata me āsi,
mama buddhassa santike;
Tisso vijjā anuppattā,
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
vimokkhāpi ca aṭṭhime;
Chaḷabhiññā sacchikatā,
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā sālakusumiyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Sāla­kusu­miyat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ paṭhamaṃ.
