“Āpāṭaliṁ ahaṁ pupphaṁ, ujjhitaṁ sumahāpathe; Thūpamhi abhiropesiṁ, sikhino lokabandhuno.

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

Ito pannarase kappe, bhūmiyo nāma khattiyo; Sattaratanasampanno, cakkavattī mahabbalo.

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

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā nāgasamālo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Nāgasamālattherassāpadānaṁ paṭhamaṁ.
