“Sevetha pantāni senāsanāni,

Careyya saṁyojanavippamokkhā;

Sace ratiṁ nādhigaccheyya tattha,

Kulākulaṁ piṇḍikāya caranto,

Indriyagutto nipako satimā;

Sevetha pantāni senāsanāni,

Bhayā pamutto abhaye vimutto.

Yattha bheravā sarīsapā,

Vijju sañcarati thanayati devo;

Andhakāratimisāya rattiyā,

Nisīdi tattha bhikkhu vigatalomahaṁso.

Idañhi jātu me diṭṭhaṁ,

nayidaṁ itihītihaṁ;

Ekasmiṁ brahmacariyasmiṁ,

sahassaṁ maccuhāyinaṁ.

Bhiyyo pañcasatā sekkhā,

Sabbe sotasamāpannā,

atiracchānagāmino.

Athāyaṁ itarā pajā,

puññabhāgāti me mano;

Saṅkhātuṁ nopi sakkomi,

musāvādassa ottapan”ti.
