साहु गोभम ! पण्णा ते, छिबो मे संसओ इमो। अण्णो वि संसमो मन त मे कहसु गोअमा! ॥४४॥ अंतोहिययसंभूआ लया चिटइ गोअमा। फलेइ विसमक्खीणि सा उ उद्धरिआ कई ? ॥ ४५ ॥ तंव्य सव्वसो छित्ता, उद्धरित्ता समूलिय। विहरामि जहाणायं, मुक्को मि विसमक्खणं ॥४६॥ लया य इइ का वुत्ता, केसी गोअममन्बवी। तो केसि बुबंत तु गोअमो इणमन्नवी ।। ४७ ।।
