145. ‘‘Jiṇṇohamasmi abalo vītavaṇṇo, [iccāyasmā piṅgiyo]

Nettā na suddhā savanaṃ na phāsu;

Māhaṃ nassaṃ momuho antarāva, ācikkha dhammaṃ yamahaṃ vijaññaṃ;

Jātijarāya idha vippahānaṃ’’.

146. ‘‘Disvāna rūpesu vihaññamāne, [piṅgiyāti bhagavā]

Ruppanti rūpesu janā pamattā;

Tasmā tuvaṃ piṅgiya appamatto, jahassu rūpaṃ apunabbhavāya’’.

147. ‘‘Disā catasso vidisā catasso, uddhaṃ adho dasa disā imāyo;

Na tuyhaṃ adiṭṭhaṃ asutaṃ amutaṃ [asutaṃ amutaṃ vā (sī.), asutāmutaṃ vā (syā.), asutaṃ’mutaṃ vā (pī.)], atho aviññātaṃ kiñcanamatthi [kañci matthi (syā.), kiñci natthi (pī.), kiñcinamatthi (ka.)] loke;

Ācikkha dhammaṃ yamahaṃ vijaññaṃ, jātijarāya idha vippahānaṃ’’.
