“Jātassarassa vemajjhe, vasāmi jalakukkuṭo; Addasāhaṁ devadevaṁ, gacchantaṁ anilañjase.

Tuṇḍena kesariṁ gayha, vippasannena cetasā; 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 naḷinakesariyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Naḷinakesariyattherassāpadānaṁ tatiyaṁ.
