25.3 Naḷinakesariyattheraapadāna

“Jātassarassa vemajjhe,
vasāmi jalakukkuṭo;
Addasāhaṃ devadevaṃ,
gacchantaṃ anilañjase.

Tuṇḍena kesariṃ gayha,
vippasannena cetasā;
Buddhassa abhiropesiṃ,
tissassa lokabandhuno.

Dvenavute ito kappe,
yaṃ pupphamabhipūjayiṃ;
Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi,
buddhapūjāyidaṃ phalaṃ.

Tesattatimhi kappamhi,
satta kesaranāmakā;
Sattaratanasampannā,
cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,
…pe…
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ”.

Itthaṃ sudaṃ āyasmā naḷinakesariyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Naḷinakesariyattherassāpadānaṃ tatiyaṃ.
