“Siddhatthassa bhagavato,
mahāpūgagaṇo ahu;
Saraṇaṁ gatā ca te buddhaṁ,
saddahanti tathāgataṁ.

Sabbe saṅgamma mantetvā,
māḷaṁ kubbanti satthuno;
Ekatthambhaṁ alabhantā,
vicinanti brahāvane.

Tehaṁ araññe disvāna,
upagamma gaṇaṁ tadā;
Añjaliṁ paggahetvāna,
paripucchiṁ gaṇaṁ ahaṁ.

Te me puṭṭhā viyākaṁsu,
sīlavanto upāsakā;
Māḷaṁ mayaṁ kattukāmā,
ekatthambho na labbhati.

Ekatthambhaṁ mamaṁ detha,
ahaṁ dassāmi satthuno;
Āharissāmahaṁ thambhaṁ,
appossukkā bhavantu te.

Te me thambhaṁ pavecchiṁsu,
pasannā tuṭṭhamānasā;
Tato paṭinivattitvā,
agamaṁsu sakaṁ gharaṁ.

Aciraṁ gate pūgagaṇe,
thambhaṁ ahāsahaṁ tadā;
Haṭṭho haṭṭhena cittena,
paṭhamaṁ ussapesahaṁ.

Tena cittappasādena,
Vimānaṁ upapajjahaṁ;
Ubbiddhaṁ bhavanaṁ mayhaṁ,
Sattabhūmaṁ samuggataṁ.

Vajjamānāsu bherīsu,
paricāremahaṁ sadā;
Pañcapaññāsakappamhi,
rājā āsiṁ yasodharo.

Tatthāpi bhavanaṁ mayhaṁ,
sattabhūmaṁ samuggataṁ;
Kūṭāgāravarūpetaṁ,
ekatthambhaṁ manoramaṁ.

Ekavīsatikappamhi,
udeno nāma khattiyo;
Tatrāpi bhavanaṁ mayhaṁ,
sattabhūmaṁ samuggataṁ.

Yaṁ yaṁ yonupapajjāmi,
devattaṁ atha mānusaṁ;
Anubhomi sukhaṁ sabbaṁ,
ekatthambhassidaṁ phalaṁ.

Catunnavutito kappe,
yaṁ thambhamadadaṁ tadā;
Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi,
ekatthambhassidaṁ phalaṁ.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
vimokkhāpi ca aṭṭhime;
Chaḷabhiññā sacchikatā,
kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā ekatthambhiko thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Ekatthambhikattherassāpadānaṁ dutiyaṁ.
