‘‘Alaṅkatā suvasanā, mālinī candanussadā;

Majjhe mahāpathe nārī, turiye naccati naṭṭakī.

‘‘Piṇḍikāya paviṭṭhohaṃ, gacchanto naṃ udikkhisaṃ;

Alaṅkataṃ suvasanaṃ, maccupāsaṃva oḍḍitaṃ.

Bhekā mandavatī panādayanti;

‘Nājja girinadīhi vippavāsasamayo,

Khemā ajakaraṇī sivā surammā’’’ti.

‘‘Pabbajiṃ jīvikatthohaṃ, laddhāna upasampadaṃ;

Tato saddhaṃ paṭilabhiṃ, daḷhavīriyo parakkamiṃ.

‘‘Kāmaṃ bhijjatuyaṃ kāyo, maṃsapesī visīyaruṃ ;

Ubho jaṇṇukasandhīhi, jaṅghāyo papatantu me.

‘‘Nāsissaṃ na pivissāmi, vihārā ca na nikkhame;

Napi passaṃ nipātessaṃ, taṇhāsalle anūhate.
