Gahito porisādena, brāhmaṇe saṅgaraṃ sariṃ.

Etesaṃ pamilāpetvā, yaññatthe upanayī mamaṃ.

Yathāmati te kāhāmi, yadi me tvaṃ punehisi’.

Upagantvā puraṃ rammaṃ, rajjaṃ niyyādayiṃ tadā.

Brāhmaṇassa dhanaṃ datvā, porisādaṃ upāgamiṃ.

110. ‘‘Natthi me saṃsayo tattha, ghātayissati vā na vā;

Saccavācānurakkhanto, jīvitaṃ cajitumupāgamiṃ;

Saccena me samo natthi, esā me saccapāramī’’ti.

Sutasomacariyaṃ dvādasamaṃ.
