Yatthāsīno jino jesi, sasenaṃ makaraddhajaṃ;
Hantvā kilesasenañca, buddho āsi niruttaro.
Yaṃ pūjesi mahāvīro, ṭhito pada makopayaṃ;
Sattarattindivaṃ netta, nīlanīrajaraṃsinā.
Surāsuranarādīnaṃ, nettāli pāḷipātanā;
Mecakākārapattehi, sikhaṇḍīviya bhāti yo.
Surapādapova sattānaṃ, yaṃ tiṭṭhati mahītale;
Iha loke paratte ca, dadanto icchiticchitaṃ.
Yassa purāṇapaṇṇampi, patitaṃ yo naro idha;
Pūjeti tassa so deti, bhavabhogaṃ mahīruho.
Gandhamālehi salilehi, yamupāsati sadā naro;
Ajjhattañca bahiddhā ca, duritaṃ so nihaññati.
Yo deti ihalokatthaṃ,
Yo deti pāralokikaṃ,
Sampadaṃ jayabodhiṃtaṃ,
Bhoti gacchāma vandituṃ.
