Ko nu hāso [kinnu hāso (ka.)] kimānando, niccaṃ pajjalite sati;

Andhakārena onaddhā, padīpaṃ na gavesatha.

Passa cittakataṃ bimbaṃ, arukāyaṃ samussitaṃ;

Āturaṃ bahusaṅkappaṃ, yassa natthi dhuvaṃ ṭhiti.

Parijiṇṇamidaṃ rūpaṃ, roganīḷaṃ [roganiḍḍhaṃ (sī. pī.), roganiddhaṃ (syā.)] pabhaṅguraṃ;

Bhijjati pūtisandeho, maraṇantañhi jīvitaṃ.

Yānimāni apatthāni [yānimāni apatthāni (sī. syā. pī.), yānimāni’paviddhāni (?)], alābūneva [alāpūneva (sī. syā. pī.)] sārade;

Kāpotakāni aṭṭhīni, tāni disvāna kā rati.

Aṭṭhīnaṃ nagaraṃ kataṃ, maṃsalohitalepanaṃ;

Yattha jarā ca maccu ca, māno makkho ca ohito.

Jīranti ve rājarathā sucittā, atho sarīrampi jaraṃ upeti;

Satañca dhammo na jaraṃ upeti, santo have sabbhi pavedayanti.

Appassutāyaṃ puriso, balibaddhova [balivaddova (sī. syā. pī.)] jīrati;

Maṃsāni tassa vaḍḍhanti, paññā tassa na vaḍḍhati.

Anekajātisaṃsāraṃ , sandhāvissaṃ anibbisaṃ;

Gahakāraṃ [gahakārakaṃ (sī. syā. pī.)] gavesanto, dukkhā jāti punappunaṃ.

Gahakāraka diṭṭhosi, puna gehaṃ na kāhasi;

Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā, gahakūṭaṃ visaṅkhataṃ;

Visaṅkhāragataṃ cittaṃ, taṇhānaṃ khayamajjhagā.

Acaritvā brahmacariyaṃ, aladdhā yobbane dhanaṃ;

Jiṇṇakoñcāva jhāyanti, khīṇamaccheva pallale.

Acaritvā brahmacariyaṃ, aladdhā yobbane dhanaṃ;

Senti cāpātikhīṇāva, purāṇāni anutthunaṃ.

Jarāvaggo ekādasamo niṭṭhito.
