“Jātassarassa vemajjhe,
vasāmi jalakukkuṭo;
Addasāhaṃ devadevaṃ,
gacchantaṃ anilañjase.

Tuṇḍena kesariṃ gayha,
vippasannena cetasā;
Buddhassa abhiropesiṃ,
tissassa lokabandhuno.

Dvenavute ito kappe,
yaṃ puppha­ma­bhipū­jayiṃ;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
buddha­pū­jāyi­daṃ phalaṃ.

Tesattatimhi kappamhi,
satta kesaranāmakā;
Satta­ratana­sam­pannā,
cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
… pe …
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā naḷinakesariyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Naḷina­kesari­yat­theras­sāpadā­naṃ tatiyaṃ.
