“Vivekakāmosi vanaṃ paviṭṭho,
Atha te mano niccharatī bahiddhā;
Jano janasmiṃ vinayassu chandaṃ,
Tato sukhī hohisi vītarāgo.

Aratiṃ pajahāsi sato,
Bhavāsi sataṃ taṃ sārayāmase;
Pātālarajo hi duttaro,
Mā taṃ kāmarajo avāhari.

VAR: paṃsukunthito → paṃsukuṇḍito (bj, s1-3, km, pts1) | paṃsuguṇṭhito (pts2) | paṃsukuṇṭhito (mr)

Sakuṇo yathā paṃsukunthito,
Vidhunaṃ pātayati sitaṃ rajaṃ;
Evaṃ bhikkhu padhānavā satimā,
Vidhunaṃ pātayati sitaṃ rajan”ti.

Atha kho so bhikkhu tāya devatāya saṃvejito saṃvegamāpādīti.
