“Candaṁva vimalaṁ suddhaṁ, vippasannamanāvilaṁ; Nandībhavaparikkhīṇaṁ, tiṇṇaṁ loke visattikaṁ.

Nibbāpayantaṁ janataṁ, Tiṇṇaṁ tārayataṁ varaṁ; Muniṁ vanamhi jhāyantaṁ, Ekaggaṁ susamāhitaṁ.

Bandhujīvakapupphāni, lagetvā suttakenahaṁ; Buddhassa abhiropayiṁ, sikhino lokabandhuno.

Ekattiṁse ito kappe, yaṁ kammamakariṁ tadā; Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi, buddhapūjāyidaṁ phalaṁ.

Ito sattamake kappe, manujindo mahāyaso; Samantacakkhu nāmāsi, cakkavattī mahabbalo.

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

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā bandhujīvako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Bandhujīvakattherassāpadānaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
