[The writing of this manuscript] was completed in the evening. Monk Mahāvaṃsa wrote this manuscript by himself to sustain the continuation of the Teachings of the Buddha to last until [the end of] 5,000 years. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript for Buddhism support me to attain Nibbāna.
Nibbāna paccayo hotu me niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ.
