Nānāratanakappano;

Ruciro thāmavā javasampanno,

Ākāsamhi samīhati.

2 Padumi padmapattakkhi,

padmuppalajutindharo;

Padmacuṇṇābhikiṇṇaṅgo,

soṇṇapokkharamāladhā.

3 Padumānusaṭaṁ maggaṁ,

padmapattavibhūsitaṁ;

Ṭhitaṁ vaggu manugghātī,

mitaṁ gacchati vāraṇo.

soṇṇakaṁsā ratissarā;

Tesaṁ suyyati nigghoso,

Mahantaṁ accharāsaṅghaṁ,

6 Dānassa te idaṁ phalaṁ,

atho sīlassa vā pana;

Atho añjalikammassa,

taṁ me akkhāhi pucchitā”ti.

Pañhaṁ puṭṭhā viyākāsi,

Abbhokirissaṁ pattehi,

pasannā sehi pāṇibhi.

10 Tassa kammakusalassa,

idaṁ me īdisaṁ phalaṁ;

Sakkāro garukāro ca,

devānaṁ apacitā ahaṁ.

11 Yo ve sammāvimuttānaṁ,

Āsanaṁ dātabbaṁ hoti,

sarīrantimadhārinan”ti.

13 Kuñjaravimānaṁ pañcamaṁ.
