1. Thomakattheraapadānaṃ

1. ‘‘Devaloke ṭhito santo, vipassissa mahesino;

Dhammaṃ suṇitvā mudito, imaṃ vācaṃ abhāsahaṃ.

2. ‘‘‘Namo te purisājañña, namo te purisuttama;

Bahujjanaṃ [bahuṃ janaṃ (sī.)] tārayasi, desento amataṃ padaṃ’.

3. ‘‘Ekanavutito kappe, yaṃ vācamabhaṇiṃ tadā;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, thomanāya idaṃ phalaṃ.

4. ‘‘Paṭisambhidā catasso, vimokkhāpi ca aṭṭhime;

Chaḷabhiññā sacchikatā, kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ’’.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā thomako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Thomakattherassāpadānaṃ paṭhamaṃ.
