Idaṁ, mahārāja, sālakalyāṇikāya ekaṁ aṅgaṁ gahetabbaṁ.
Bhāsitampetaṁ, mahārāja, therena rāhulena—
‘Sālakalyāṇikā nāma,
pādapo dharaṇīruho;
Antopathaviyaṁyeva,

Yathā kālamhi sampatte,
paripākena so dumo;
Uggañchitvāna ekāhaṁ,
satahatthopi vaḍḍhati.
Evamevāhaṁ mahāvīra,
sālakalyāṇikā viya;
Abbhantare suññāgāre,
dhammato abhivaḍḍhayin’”ti.
