“Uyyānabhūmiṃ niyyanto,
addasaṃ lokanāyakaṃ;
Vaṭaṃsakaṃ gahetvāna,
sovaṇṇaṃ sādhunimmitaṃ.

Sīghaṃ tato samāruyha,
hatthik­khan­dha­gato ahaṃ;
Buddhassa abhiropesiṃ,
sikhino lokabandhuno.

Ekattiṃse ito kappe,
yaṃ puppha­ma­bhiro­payiṃ;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
puppha­pū­jāyi­daṃ phalaṃ.

Sattavīse ito kappe,
eko āsiṃ janādhipo;
Mahā­patāpa­nā­mena,
cakkavattī mahabbalo.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
… pe …
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā sovaṇ­ṇavaṭaṃ­sa­kiyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Sovaṇ­ṇavaṭaṃ­sa­kiyat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ sattamaṃ.
