“Dhanuṁ advejjhaṁ katvāna, vanamajjhogahiṁ ahaṁ; Kesaraṁ ogataṁ disvā, patapattaṁ samuṭṭhitaṁ.

Ubho hatthehi paggayha, sire katvāna añjaliṁ; Buddhassa abhiropesiṁ, tissassa lokabandhuno.

Dvenavute ito kappe, yaṁ pupphamabhipūjayiṁ; Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi, buddhapūjāyidaṁ phalaṁ.

Tesattatimhi kappamhi, satta kesaranāmakā; Sattaratanasampannā, cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso, …pe… kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā nāgakesariyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Nāgakesariyattherassāpadānaṁ dutiyaṁ.
