1 “Yadā devo devakāyā,

cavate āyusaṅkhayā;

Tayo saddā niccharanti,

devānaṁ anumodataṁ.

2 ‘Ito bho sugatiṁ gaccha,

manussānaṁ sahabyataṁ;

Manussabhūto saddhamme,

labha saddhaṁ anuttaraṁ.

3 Sā te saddhā niviṭṭhāssa,

mūlajātā patiṭṭhitā;

Yāvajīvaṁ asaṁhīrā,

saddhamme suppavedite.

4 Kāyena kusalaṁ katvā,

vācāya kusalaṁ bahuṁ;

Manasā kusalaṁ katvā,

abyāpajjaṁ nirūpadhiṁ.

5 Tato opadhikaṁ puññaṁ,

katvā dānena taṁ bahuṁ;

Aññepi macce saddhamme,

brahmacariye nivesaya’.

6 Imāya anukampāya,

devā devaṁ yadā vidū;

Cavantaṁ anumodanti,

ehi deva punappunaṁ.

7 Saṁvego me tadā āsi,

devasaṅghe samāgate;

Kaṁ su nāma ahaṁ yoniṁ,

gamissāmi ito cuto.

8 Mama saṁvegamaññāya,

samaṇo bhāvitindriyo;

Mamuddharitukāmo so,

āgacchi mama santikaṁ.

9 Sumano nāma nāmena,

padumuttarasāvako;

Atthadhammānusāsitvā,

saṁvejesi mamaṁ tadā.

10 Tassāhaṁ vacanaṁ sutvā,

buddhe cittaṁ pasādayiṁ;

Taṁ dhīraṁ abhivādetvā,

tattha kālaṅkato ahaṁ.

11 Upapajjiṁ sa tattheva,

sukkamūlena codito;

Kappānaṁ satasahassaṁ,

duggatiṁ nupapajjahaṁ.

12 Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

13 Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā ekacintiko thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

14 Ekacintikattherassāpadānaṁ sattamaṁ.
