Mahāpanthakattheragāthā

“Yadā paṭhamamaddakkhiṁ, satthāramakutobhayaṁ; Tato me ahu saṁvego, passitvā purisuttamaṁ.

Siriṁ hatthehi pādehi, yo paṇāmeyya āgataṁ; Etādisaṁ so satthāraṁ, ārādhetvā virādhaye.

Tadāhaṁ puttadārañca, dhanadhaññañca chaḍḍayiṁ; Kesamassūni chedetvā, pabbajiṁ anagāriyaṁ.

Sikkhāsājīvasampanno, indriyesu susaṁvuto; Namassamāno sambuddhaṁ, vihāsiṁ aparājito.

Tato me paṇidhī āsi, cetaso abhipatthito; Na nisīde muhuttampi, taṇhāsalle anūhate.

Tassa mevaṁ viharato, passa vīriyaparakkamaṁ; Tisso vijjā anuppattā, kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ.

Pubbenivāsaṁ jānāmi, dibbacakkhu visodhitaṁ; Arahā dakkhiṇeyyomhi, vippamutto nirūpadhi.

Tato ratyā vivasāne, sūriyuggamanaṁ pati; Sabbaṁ taṇhaṁ visosetvā, pallaṅkena upāvisin”ti. … Mahāpanthako thero … Aṭṭhakanipāto niṭṭhito.

Mahākaccāyano thero, sirimitto mahāpanthako; Ete aṭṭhanipātamhi, gāthāyo catuvīsatīti.
