100Sahassamapi ce vācā,

101 Sahassamapi ce gāthā,
anatthapadasaṃhitā;
Ekaṃ gāthāpadaṃ seyyo,

102 Yo ca gāthā sataṃ bhāse,

sangāme mānuse jine;
Ekañca jeyyamattānaṃ,

104 Attā have jitaṃ seyyo,
yā cāyaṃ itarā pajā;
Attadantassa posassa,

Jitaṃ apajitaṃ kayirā,

106 Māse māse sahassena,

Ekañca bhāvitattānaṃ,

107 Yo ca vassasataṃ jantu,
aggiṃ paricare vane;
Ekañca bhāvitattānaṃ,

Sāyeva pūjanā seyyo,
yañce vassasataṃ hutaṃ.
108 Yaṃ kiñci yiṭṭhaṃ va hutaṃ va loke,
Saṃvaccharaṃ yajetha puññapekkho;
Sabbampi taṃ na catubhāgameti,
Abhivādanā ujjugatesu seyyo.
109 Abhivādanasīlissa,
niccaṃ vuḍḍhāpacāyino;
Cattāro dhammā vaḍḍhanti,
āyu vaṇṇo sukhaṃ balaṃ.
110 Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve,

111 Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve,

112 Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve,
kusīto hīnavīriyo;
Ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo,
vīriyamārabhato daḷhaṃ.
113 Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve,
apassaṃ udayabbayaṃ;
Ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo,

114 Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve,
apassaṃ amataṃ padaṃ;
Ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo,
passato amataṃ padaṃ.
115 Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve,
apassaṃ dhammamuttamaṃ;
Ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo,
passato dhammamuttamaṃ.
