“Padumuttaro nāma jino,
sabbadhammesu cakkhumā;
Ito satasahassamhi,

Yathāpi sāgare ūmi,

Evaṃ pāvacanaṃ tassa,

Sade­vāsura­nāgehi,

Pabhāhi anurañjanto,

Vacanena vibodhento,

Vesārajjehi sampanno,

Pahīna­bhaya­sārajjo,

Āsabhaṃ pavaraṃ ṭhānaṃ,

Devo naro vā brahmā vā,

Desento pavaraṃ dhammaṃ,

Paṭibhānavataṃ aggaṃ,

Tadāhaṃ haṃsavatiyaṃ,

Upecca taṃ mahāvīraṃ,

Namo te sabbalokagga,

Namo te māramathana,

Namo te santisukhada,

Anāthānaṃ bhavaṃ nātho,
