punar api devasamaye yadā satyāṃ prakāśayet* /
aśītiṃ tṛtīye koṭī tṛtīyābhisamayo abhūt* //
yadā uttaro gṛhapati buddhadarśanam upāgami /
tadā āhani saṃbuddho dharmabherīṃ varam uttamāṃ //
uttarānucarā janatā aśītiṃ āsi koṭiyo /
sarve te niravaśeṣā abhūt buddhasya śrāvakāḥ //
sannipātāḥ trayo āsi maṅgalasya maharṣiṇo /
kṣīṇāśravāṇāṃ virajānāṃ śāntacittānutāpitāṃ //
koṭīśatasahasrāṇāṃ prathamo āsi samāgamo /
dvitīyo navatiṃ koṭī aśītiṃ tṛtīyo abhūt* //
ahaṃ tena samayena nāgarājā maharddhiko /
atulo nāma nāmena utsadakuśalasaṃcayo //
nāgānāṃ divyehi tūryehi maṅgalasya maharṣiṇo /
arcaye duṣyāṇi dattvāna śaraṇaṃ tam upāgami //
so me buddho viyākārṣīt* maṅgalo lokanāyako /
aparimeye ito kalpe buddho loke bhaviṣyasi /
śākyānāṃ nagare ramye sphīte kapilavasāhvaye //
tasya te jananī mātā māyā nāmena bheṣyati /
pitā śuddhodano nāma tava bhaviṣyati gautamaḥ //
kolito upatiṣyo ca agrā bheṣyanti śrāvakāḥ /
kṣemā utpalavarṇā ca agrā bheṣyanti śrāvikā //
ānando nāma nāmena upasthāyako bhaviṣyati /
