Sirimaṇḍattheragāthā

“Channamativassati,

vivaṭaṁ nātivassati;

Tasmā channaṁ vivaretha,

evaṁ taṁ nātivassati.

Maccunābbhahato loko,

jarāya parivārito;

Taṇhāsallena otiṇṇo,

icchādhūpāyito sadā.

Maccunābbhahato loko,

parikkhitto jarāya ca;

Haññati niccamattāṇo,

pattadaṇḍova takkaro.

Āgacchantaggikhandhāva,

maccu byādhi jarā tayo;

Paccuggantuṁ balaṁ natthi,

javo natthi palāyituṁ.

Amoghaṁ divasaṁ kayirā,

appena bahukena vā;

Yaṁ yaṁ vijahate rattiṁ,

tadūnaṁ tassa jīvitaṁ.

Carato tiṭṭhato vāpi,

āsīnasayanassa vā;

Upeti carimā ratti,

na te kālo pamajjitun”ti.
