“Tisso nāmāsi bhagavā,
lokajeṭṭho narāsabho;
Purakkhato sāvakehi,
rathiyaṁ paṭipajjatha.
Pañca uppalahatthā ca,
cāturā ṭhapitā mayā;
Āhutiṁ dātukāmohaṁ,
paggaṇhiṁ vatasiddhiyā.
Suvaṇṇavaṇṇaṁ sambuddhaṁ,
Gacchantaṁ antarāpaṇe;
Buddharaṁsīhi phuṭṭhosmi,
Pūjesiṁ dvipaduttamaṁ.
Dvenavute ito kappe,
yaṁ pupphamabhipūjayiṁ;
Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi,
buddhapūjāyidaṁ phalaṁ.
Ito terasakappamhi,
pañca susabhasammatā;
Sattaratanasampannā,
cakkavattī mahabbalā.
Paṭisambhidā catasso,
…pe…
kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.
Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā pañcahatthiyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.
Pañcahatthiyattherassāpadānaṁ catutthaṁ.
