1 “Akakkasaṁ apharusaṁ,

kharadhotaṁ supāsiyaṁ;

Sukhumaṁ tikhiṇaggañca,

ko sūciṁ ketumicchati.

2 Sumajjañca supāsañca,

anupubbaṁ suvaṭṭitaṁ;

Ghanaghātimaṁ paṭithaddhaṁ,

ko sūciṁ ketumicchati”.

3 “Ito dāni patāyanti,

sūciyo baḷisāni ca;

Koyaṁ kammāragāmasmiṁ,

sūciṁ vikketumicchati.

4 Ito satthāni gacchanti,

Kammantā vividhā puthū;

Koyaṁ kammāragāmasmiṁ,

Sūciṁ vikketumicchati”.

5 “Sūciṁ kammāragāmasmiṁ,

vikketabbā pajānatā;

Ācariyāva jānanti,

kammaṁ sukatadukkaṭaṁ.

6 Imañce te pitā bhadde,

Sūciṁ jaññā mayā kataṁ;

Tayā ca maṁ nimanteyya,

Yañcatthaññaṁ ghare dhanan”ti.
