3. Nāgavimānavatthu

1 “Alaṅkatā maṇikañcanācitaṁ,

Sovaṇṇajālacitaṁ mahantaṁ;

Abhiruyha gajavaraṁ sukappitaṁ,

Idhāgamā vehāyasaṁ antalikkhe.

2 Nāgassa dantesu duvesu nimmitā,

Acchodakā paduminiyo suphullā;

Padumesu ca tūriyagaṇā pabhijjare,

Imā ca naccanti manoharāyo.

3 Deviddhipattāsi mahānubhāve,

Manussabhūtā kimakāsi puññaṁ;

Kenāsi evaṁ jalitānubhāvā,

Vaṇṇo ca te sabbadisā pabhāsatī”ti.

4 “Bārāṇasiyaṁ upasaṅkamitvā,

Buddhassahaṁ vatthayugaṁ adāsiṁ;

Pādāni vanditvā chamā nisīdiṁ,

Vittā cahaṁ añjalikaṁ akāsiṁ.

5 Buddho ca me kañcanasannibhattaco,

Adesayi samudayadukkhaniccataṁ;

Asaṅkhataṁ dukkhanirodhasassataṁ,

Maggaṁ adesayi yato vijānisaṁ.

6 Appāyukī kālakatā tato cutā,

Upapannā tidasagaṇaṁ yasassinī;

Sakkassahaṁ aññatarā pajāpati,

Yasuttarā nāma disāsu vissutā”ti.

7 Nāgavimānaṁ tatiyaṁ.
