“Yadā dīpaṅkaro buddho,
sumedhaṃ byākarī jino;
‘Aparimeyye ito kappe,
ayaṃ buddho bhavissati.

Imassa janikā mātā,
māyā nāma bhavissati;
Pitā suddhodano nāma,
ayaṃ hessati gotamo.

Padhānaṃ padahitvāna,
katvā dukkarakārikaṃ;
Assatthamūle sambuddho,
bujjhissati mahāyaso.

Upatisso kolito ca,
aggā hessanti sāvakā;
Ānando nāma nāmena,
upaṭ­ṭhissati­maṃ jinaṃ.

Khemā uppalavaṇṇā ca,
aggā hessanti sāvikā;
Citto āḷavako ceva,
aggā hessantupāsakā.

Khujjuttarā nandamātā,
aggā hessantupāsikā;
Bodhi imassa vīrassa,
assatthoti pavuccati’.

Idaṃ sutvāna vacanaṃ,
asamassa mahesino;
Āmoditā naramarū,
namassanti katañjalī.

Tadāhaṃ māṇavo āsiṃ,
megho nāma susikkhito;
Sutvā byākaraṇaṃ seṭṭhaṃ,
sumedhassa mahāmune.

Saṃvisaṭṭho bhavitvāna,
sumedhe karuṇāsaye;
Pabbajantañca taṃ vīraṃ,
sahāva anupabbajiṃ.

Saṃvuto pātimokkhasmiṃ,
indriyesu ca pañcasu;
Suddhājīvo sato vīro,
jina­sāsana­kārako.

Evaṃ viharamānohaṃ,
pāpamittena kenaci;
Niyojito anācāre,
sumaggā paridhaṃsito.

Vitakkavasiko hutvā,
sāsanato apakkamiṃ;
Pacchā tena kumittena,
payutto mātughātanaṃ.

Akariṃ ānantariyaṃ,
ghātayiṃ duṭṭhamānaso;
Tato cuto mahāvīciṃ,
upapanno sudāruṇaṃ.

Vinipātagato santo,
saṃsariṃ dukkhito ciraṃ;
Na puno addasaṃ vīraṃ,
sumedhaṃ narapuṅgavaṃ.

Asmiṃ kappe samuddamhi,
maccho āsiṃ timiṅgalo;
Disvāhaṃ sāgare nāvaṃ,
gocarat­tha­mupāga­miṃ.

Disvā maṃ vāṇijā bhītā,
buddha­seṭ­ṭha­manus­sa­ruṃ;
Gotamoti mahāghosaṃ,
sutvā tehi udīritaṃ.

Pubbasaññaṃ saritvāna,
tato kālaṅkato ahaṃ;
Sāvatthiyaṃ kule iddhe,
jāto brāhma­ṇa­jātiyaṃ.

Āsiṃ dhammaruci nāma,
sabba­pāpa­jigucchako;
Disvāhaṃ lokapajjotaṃ,
jātiyā sattavassiko.

Mahājetavanaṃ gantvā,
pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ;
Upemi buddhaṃ tikkhattuṃ,
rattiyā divasassa ca.

Tadā disvā muni āha,
ciraṃ dhammarucīti maṃ;
Tatohaṃ avacaṃ buddhaṃ,
pubba­kamma­pabhā­vi­taṃ.

Suciraṃ sata­puñña­lak­kha­ṇaṃ,
Patipubbena visud­dha­pac­ca­yaṃ;
Ahamajja­supekkha­naṃ vata,
Tava passāmi nirupamaṃ viggahaṃ.

Suciraṃ vihatattamo mayā,
Sucirakkhena nadī visositā;
Suciraṃ amalaṃ visodhitaṃ,
Nayanaṃ ñāṇamayaṃ mahāmune.

Cirakā­la­samaṅ­gito tayā,
Avinaṭṭho punarantaraṃ ciraṃ;
Punaraj­jasamā­gato tayā,
Na hi nassanti katāni gotama.

Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ,
… pe …
viharāmi anāsavo.

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

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
… pe …
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā dhammaruciyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Dhamma­ruci­yat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ navamaṃ.
