“Isisaṃghe ahaṃ pubbe,
āsiṃ mātaṅgavāraṇo;
Mahesīnaṃ pasādena,
padma­kesara­mokiriṃ.

Pac­ce­ka­jina­seṭ­ṭhesu,
dhutarāgesu tādisu;
Tesu cittaṃ pasādetvā,
kappaṃ saggamhi modahaṃ.

Ekanavutito kappe,
kesaraṃ okiriṃ tadā;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
buddha­pū­jāyi­daṃ phalaṃ.

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

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā padumakesariyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Paduma­kesari­yat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ paṭhamaṃ.
