1 “Akaramhasa te kiccaṁ,

yaṁ balaṁ ahuvamhase;

Migarāja namo tyatthu,

api kiñci labhāmase”.

niccaṁ luddāni kubbato;

Dantantaragato santo,

taṁ bahuṁ yampi jīvasi”.

katassa appaṭikārakaṁ;

Yasmiṁ kataññutā natthi,

niratthā tassa sevanā.

4 Yassa sammukhaciṇṇena,

Mittadhammo na labbhati;

Anusūyamanakkosaṁ,

Saṇikaṁ tamhā apakkame”ti.
