ahaṁ vande rathesabhaṁ;

Pabbajissāmahaṁ rāja,

taṁ devo anumaññatu”.

2 “Sace te ūnaṁ kāmehi,

ahaṁ paripūrayāmi te;

Yo taṁ hiṁsati vāremi,

mā pabbaja yudhañcaya”.

3 “Na matthi ūnaṁ kāmehi,

hiṁsitā me na vijjati;

Dīpañca kātumicchāmi,

yaṁ jarā nābhikīrati”.

pitā vā puttamorasaṁ;

Negamo taṁ yāce tāta,

mā pabbaja yudhañcaya”.

5 “Mā maṁ deva nivārehi,

pabbajantaṁ rathesabha;

Māhaṁ kāmehi sammatto,

jarāya vasamanvagū”.

ahaṁ putta nivāraye;

Ciraṁ taṁ daṭṭhumicchāmi,

sūriyuggamanaṁ pati;

Evamāyu manussānaṁ,

8 “Taramāno imaṁ yānaṁ,

āropetu rathesabha;

Mā me mātā tarantassa,

antarāyakarā ahu”.

9 “Abhidhāvatha bhaddante,

suññaṁ hessati rammakaṁ;

Yudhañcayo anuññāto,

sabbadattena rājinā.

10 Yohu seṭṭho sahassassa,

yuvā kañcanasannibho;

Soyaṁ kumāro pabbajito,

kāsāyavasano balī”.

11 “Ubho kumārā pabbajitā,

yudhañcayo yudhiṭṭhilo;

Pahāya mātāpitaro,

saṅgaṁ chetvāna maccuno”ti.
