“Saddhāya abhinikkhamma,
pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ;
Vākacīradharo āsiṃ,
tapo­kamma­ma­passito.

Atthadassī tu bhagavā,
lokajeṭṭho narāsabho;
Uppajji tamhi samaye,
tārayanto mahājanaṃ.

Balañca vata me khīṇaṃ,
byādhinā paramena taṃ;
Buddhaseṭṭhaṃ saritvāna,
puline thūpamuttamaṃ.

Karitvā haṭṭhacittohaṃ,
sahatthena samokiriṃ;
Soṇṇa­kiṅ­ka­ṇi­pupphāni,
udaggamanaso ahaṃ.

Sammukhā viya sambuddhaṃ,
thūpaṃ paricariṃ ahaṃ;
Tena cetopasādena,
atthadassissa tādino.

Devalokaṃ gato santo,
labhāmi vipulaṃ sukhaṃ;
Suvaṇṇavaṇṇo tatthāsiṃ,
buddha­pū­jāyi­daṃ phalaṃ.

Asītikoṭiyo mayhaṃ,
nāriyo samalaṅkatā;
Sadā mayhaṃ upaṭṭhanti,
buddha­pū­jāyi­daṃ phalaṃ.

Saṭṭhi­turiya­sahas­sāni,
bheriyo paṇavāni ca;
Saṅkhā ca ḍiṇḍimā tattha,
vaggū vajjanti dundubhī.

Cullā­sīti­sahas­sāni,
hatthino samalaṅkatā;
Tidhā­pa­bhin­na­mātaṅgā,
kuñjarā saṭṭhihāyanā.

Hema­jālā­bhisañ­channā,
upaṭṭhānaṃ karonti me;
Balakāye gaje ceva,
ūnatā me na vijjati.

Soṇṇa­kiṅ­ka­ṇi­pupphā­naṃ,
vipākaṃ anubhomahaṃ;
Aṭṭha­paññā­sak­khat­tuñca,
devaraj­ja­makāra­yiṃ.

Ekasat­ta­tik­khat­tuñca,
cakkavattī ahosahaṃ;
Pathabyā rajjaṃ ekasataṃ,
mahiyā kārayiṃ ahaṃ.

So dāni amataṃ patto,
asaṅkhataṃ sududdasaṃ;
Saṃ­yoja­na­parik­khīṇo,
natthi dāni punabbhavo.

Aṭṭhārase kappasate,
yaṃ puppha­ma­bhiro­payiṃ;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
buddha­pū­jāyi­daṃ phalaṃ.

Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ,
… pe …
viharāmi anāsavo.

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

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
… pe …
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā sovaṇ­ṇa­kiṅ­kaṇiyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Sovaṇ­ṇa­kiṅ­kaṇiyat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ navamaṃ.
