“Vivekakāmosi vanaṁ paviṭṭho,

Atha te mano niccharatī bahiddhā;

Jano janasmiṁ vinayassu chandaṁ,

Tato sukhī hohisi vītarāgo.

Aratiṁ pajahāsi sato,

Bhavāsi sataṁ taṁ sārayāmase;

Pātālarajo hi duttaro,

Mā taṁ kāmarajo avāhari.

Sakuṇo yathā paṁsukunthito,

Evaṁ bhikkhu padhānavā satimā,

Vidhunaṁ pātayati sitaṁ rajan”ti.

Atha kho so bhikkhu tāya devatāya saṁvejito saṁvegamāpādīti.
