kā nu dīnā patiṭṭhasi;

Nissaṁsayaṁ pāpakammantā,

duggatā yamalokikā;

Pāpakammaṁ karitvāna,

petalokaṁ ito gatā”ti.

manasā dukkaṭaṁ kataṁ;

Kissa kammavipākena,

issukī kulamaccharī;

Ajjhāsito mayhaṁ ghare,

kadariyo paribhāsako.

5 Tassāhaṁ vacanaṁ sutvā,

bhikkhavo paribhāsisaṁ;

Tassa kammavipākena,

petalokaṁ ito gatā”ti.

Kāyassa bhedā duppañño,

kiṁ nu pecca gatiṁ gato”ti.

7 “Tassevāhaṁ pāpakammassa,

sīse tiṭṭhāmi matthake;

So ca paravisayaṁ patto,

mameva paricārako.

Ahañca kho yaṁ hadāmi,

etaṁ so upajīvatī”ti.
