“Padumuttarabuddhassa,
bodhiyā pādaputtame;
Haṭṭho haṭṭhena cittena,
dhajamāropayiṁ ahaṁ.
Patitapattāni gaṇhitvā,
bahiddhā chaḍḍayiṁ ahaṁ;
Antosuddhaṁ bahisuddhaṁ,
adhimuttamanāsavaṁ.
Sammukhā viya sambuddhaṁ,
avandiṁ bodhimuttamaṁ;
Padumuttaro lokavidū,
āhutīnaṁ paṭiggaho.
Bhikkhusaṅghe ṭhito satthā,
imā gāthā abhāsatha;
‘Iminā dhajadānena,
upaṭṭhānena cūbhayaṁ.
Kappānaṁ satasahassaṁ,
duggatiṁ so na gacchati;
Devesu devasobhagyaṁ,
anubhossatinappakaṁ.
Anekasatakkhattuñca,
rājā raṭṭhe bhavissati;
Uggato nāma nāmena,
cakkavattī bhavissati.
Sampattiṁ anubhotvāna,
sukkamūlena codito;
Gotamassa bhagavato,
sāsanebhiramissati’.
Padhānapahitattomhi,
upasanto nirūpadhi;
Dhāremi antimaṁ dehaṁ,
sammāsambuddhasāsane.
Ekapaññāsasahasse,
kappe uggatasavhayo;
Paññāsasatasahasse,
khattiyo meghasavhayo.
Paṭisambhidā catasso,
…pe…
kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.
Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā dhajadāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.
Dhajadāyakattherassāpadānaṁ aṭṭhamaṁ.
