Dutiyampi kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena udayassa brāhmaṇassa nivesanaṃ tenupasankami … pe … tatiyampi kho udayo brāhmaṇo bhagavato pattaṃ odanena pūretvā bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:  "pakaṭṭhakoyaṃ samaṇo gotamo punappunaṃ āgacchatī"ti.

2 "Punappunañceva vapanti bījaṃ,
Punappunaṃ vassati devarājā;
Punappunaṃ khettaṃ kasanti kassakā,
Punappunaṃ dhaññamupeti raṭṭhaṃ.

3 Punappunaṃ yācakā yācayanti,
Punappunaṃ dānapatī dadanti;
Punappunaṃ dānapatī daditvā,
Punappunaṃ saggamupenti ṭhānaṃ.

4 Punappunaṃ khīranikā duhanti,
Punappunaṃ vaccho upeti mātaraṃ;
Punappunaṃ kilamati phandati ca,
Punappunaṃ gabbhamupeti mando.

5 Punappunaṃ jāyati mīyati ca,
Punappunaṃ sivathikaṃ haranti;
Maggañca laddhā apunabbhavāya,
Na punappunaṃ jāyati bhūripañño"ti.

6 Evaṃ vutte, udayo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:  "abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama … pe … upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gatan"ti.
