Ganthārambhakathā

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa

Vinayavinicchayo

Ganthārambhakathā

Vanditvā sirasā seṭṭhaṃ, buddhamappaṭipuggalaṃ;

Bhavābhāvakaraṃ dhammaṃ, gaṇañceva niraṅgaṇaṃ.

Bhikkhūnaṃ bhikkhunīnañca, hitatthāya samāhito;

Pavakkhāmi samāsena, vinayassavinicchayaṃ.

Anākulamasaṃkiṇṇaṃ, madhuratthapadakkamaṃ;

Paṭubhāvakaraṃ etaṃ, paramaṃ vinayakkame.

Apāraṃ otarantānaṃ, sāraṃ vinayasāgaraṃ;

Bhikkhūnaṃ bhikkhunīnañca, nāvābhūtaṃ manoramaṃ.

Tasmā vinayanūpāyaṃ, vinayassavinicchayaṃ;

Avikkhittena cittena, vadato me nibodhatha.
