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

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

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

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