“Padumuttaro nāma jino,
sabbadhammesu cakkhumā;
Ito satasahassamhi,
kappe uppajji nāyako.

Hitāya sabbasattānaṃ,
sukhāya vadataṃ varo;
Atthāya purisājañño,
paṭipanno sadevake.

Yasaggapatto sirimā,
kitti­vaṇṇa­bhato jino;
Pūjito sabbalokassa,
disā sabbāsu vissuto.

Uttiṇ­ṇa­vici­kiccho so,
vītivat­ta­kathaṃ­katho;
Pari­puṇṇa­manasaṅ­kappo,
patto sam­bodhi­muttamaṃ.

Anuppannassa maggassa,
uppādetā naruttamo;
Anakkhātañca akkhāsi,
asañjātañca sañjanī.

Maggaññū maggavidū ca,
maggakkhāyī narāsabho;
Maggassa kusalo satthā,
sārathīnaṃ varuttamo.

Tadā mahākāruṇiko,
dhammaṃ desesi nāyako;
Nimugge kāmapaṅkamhi,
samuddharati pāṇine.

Bhikkhunīnaṃ ovadane,
sāvakaṃ seṭṭhasammataṃ;
Vaṇṇayaṃ etadaggamhi,
paññapesi mahāmuni.

Taṃ sutvāhaṃ pamudito,
nimantetvā tathāgataṃ;
Bhojayitvā sasaṃghaṃ taṃ,
patthayiṃ ṭhānamuttamaṃ.

Tadā pamudito nātho,
maṃ avoca mahāisi;
‘Sukhī bhavassu dīghāvu,
lacchase taṃ manorathaṃ.

Satasahassito kappe,
okkā­kakula­sam­bhavo;
Gotamo nāma gottena,
satthā loke bhavissati.

Tassa dhammesu dāyādo,
oraso dhammanimmito;
Nandako nāma nāmena,
hessati satthu sāvako’.

Tena kammena sukatena,
cetanā­paṇi­dhīhi ca;
Jahitvā mānusaṃ dehaṃ,
tāvatiṃsūpago ahaṃ.

Pacchime ca bhave dāni,
jāto seṭṭhikule ahaṃ;
Sāvatthiyaṃ pure vare,
iddhe phīte mahaddhane.

Purappavese sugataṃ,
disvā vimhitamānaso;
Jetārāma­paṭig­gāhe,
pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ.

Nacireneva kālena,
arahat­ta­ma­pāpuṇiṃ;
Tatohaṃ tiṇṇasaṃsāro,
sāsito sabbadassinā.

Bhikkhunīnaṃ dhammakathaṃ,
paṭi­pucchā­kariṃ ahaṃ;
Sāsitā tā mayā sabbā,
abhaviṃsu anāsavā.

Satāni pañcanūnāni,
tadā tuṭṭho mahāhito;
Bhikkhunīnaṃ ovadataṃ,
aggaṭṭhāne ṭhapesi maṃ.

Satasahasse kataṃ kammaṃ,
phalaṃ dassesi me idha;
Sumutto saravegova,
kilese jhāpayiṃ mama.

Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ,
… pe …
viharāmi anāsavo.

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

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
… pe …
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā nandako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Nanda­kat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ pañcamaṃ.
