6.8 Dhajadāyakattheraapadāna

“Padumuttarabuddhassa,
bodhiyā pādaputtame;
Haṭṭho haṭṭhena cittena,
dhajamāropayiṃ ahaṃ.

Patitapattāni gaṇhitvā,
bahiddhā chaḍḍayiṃ ahaṃ;
Antosuddhaṃ bahisuddhaṃ,
adhimuttamanāsavaṃ.

Sammukhā viya sambuddhaṃ,
avandiṃ bodhimuttamaṃ;
Padumuttaro lokavidū,
āhutīnaṃ paṭiggaho.

Bhikkhusaṃghe ṭhito satthā,
imā gāthā abhāsatha;
‘Iminā dhajadānena,
upaṭṭhānena cūbhayaṃ.

Kappānaṃ satasahassaṃ,
duggatiṃ so na gacchati;
Devesu devasobhagyaṃ,
anubhossatinappakaṃ.

Anekasatakkhattuñca,
rājā raṭṭhe bhavissati;
Uggato nāma nāmena,
cakkavattī bhavissati.

Sampattiṃ anubhotvāna,
sukkamūlena codito;
Gotamassa bhagavato,
sāsanebhiramissati’.

Padhānapahitattomhi,
upasanto nirūpadhi;
Dhāremi antimaṃ dehaṃ,
sammāsambuddhasāsane.

Ekapaññāsasahasse,
kappe uggatasavhayo;
Paññāsasatasahasse,
khattiyo meghasavhayo.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
…pe…
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā dhajadāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Dhajadāyakattherassāpadānaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ.
