“Nagare candavatiyā,
mātuupaṭṭhāko ahuṃ;
Andhā mātā pitā mayhaṃ,
te posemi ahaṃ tadā.

Rahogato nisīditvā,
evaṃ cintesahaṃ tadā;
Posento mātāpitaro,
pabbajjaṃ na labhāmahaṃ.

Mahandha­kā­ra­pihitā,
tividhaggīhi ḍayhare;
Etādise bhave jāte,
natthi koci vināyako.

Buddho loke samuppanno,
dippati dāni sāsanaṃ;
Sakkā uddharituṃ attā,
puññakāmena jantunā.

Uggayha tīṇi saraṇe,
paripuṇṇāni gopayiṃ;
Tena kammena sukatena,
paṭimokkhāmi duggatiṃ.

Nisabho nāma samaṇo,
buddhassa aggasāvako;
Tamahaṃ upagantvāna,
saraṇagamanaṃ gahiṃ.

Vassa­sata­sahas­sāni,
āyu vijjati tāvade;
Tāvatā saraṇagamanaṃ,
paripuṇṇaṃ agopayiṃ.

Carime vattamānamhi,
saraṇaṃ taṃ anussariṃ;
Tena kammena sukatena,
tāvatiṃsaṃ agacchahaṃ.

Devalokagato santo,
puñña­kamma­sa­māhito;
Yaṃ desaṃ upapajjāmi,
aṭṭha hetū labhāmahaṃ.

Disāsu pūjito homi,
tikkhapañño bhavāmahaṃ;
Sabbe devānuvattanti,
amitabhogaṃ labhāmahaṃ.

Suvaṇṇavaṇṇo sabbattha,
paṭikanto bhavāmahaṃ;
Mittānaṃ acalo homi,
yaso abbhuggato mamaṃ.

Asītikkhattu devindo,
devaraj­ja­makāra­yiṃ;
Dibbasukhaṃ anubhaviṃ,
accharāhi purakkhato.

Pañca­satta­tik­khat­tuñca,
cakkavattī ahosahaṃ;
Padesarajjaṃ vipulaṃ,
gaṇanāto asaṅkhiyaṃ.

Pacchime bhave sampatte,
puñña­kamma­sa­māhito;
Pure sāvatthiyaṃ jāto,
mahāsāle suaḍḍhake.

Nagarā nikkhamitvāna,
dārakehi purakkhato;
Hasa­khiḍḍa­samaṅ­gī­haṃ,
saṃghārāmaṃ upāgamiṃ.

Tatthaddasāsiṃ samaṇaṃ,
vippamuttaṃ nirūpadhiṃ;
So me dhammamadesesi,
saraṇañca adāsi me.

Sohaṃ sutvāna saraṇaṃ,
saraṇaṃ me anussariṃ;
Ekāsane nisīditvā,
arahat­ta­ma­pāpuṇiṃ.

Jātiyā sattame vasse,
arahat­ta­ma­pāpuṇiṃ;
Upasampādayi buddho,
guṇamaññāya cakkhumā.

Aparimeyye ito kappe,
saraṇāni agacchahaṃ;
Tato me sukataṃ kammaṃ,
phalaṃ dassesi me idha.

Sugopitaṃ me saraṇaṃ,
mānasaṃ suppaṇīhitaṃ;
Anubhotvā yasaṃ sabbaṃ,
pattomhi acalaṃ padaṃ.

Yesaṃ sotā­vadhānat­thi,
suṇotha mama bhāsato;
Ahaṃ vo kathayissāmi,
sāmaṃ diṭṭhaṃ padaṃ mama.

‘Buddho loke samuppanno,
vattate jinasāsanaṃ;
Amatā vāditā bherī,
­sokasal­la­vinodanā.

Yathāsakena thāmena,
puññakkhette anuttare;
Adhikāraṃ kareyyātha,
passayissatha nibbutiṃ.

Paggayha tīṇi saraṇe,
pañcasīlāni gopiya;
Buddhe cittaṃ pasādetvā,
dukkhassantaṃ karissatha.

Sammā dhammaṃ bhāvetvāna,
Sīlāni parigopiya;
Aciraṃ arahattaṃ vo,
Sabbepi pāpuṇissatha.

Tevijjo iddhipattomhi,
ceto­pariya­kovido;
Sāvako te mahāvīra,
saraṇo vandati satthuno’.

Aparimeyye ito kappe,
saraṇaṃ buddhassa gacchahaṃ;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
saraṇaṃ gamane phalaṃ.

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