Sandhi nāmaṃ kārakañca, samāso taddhitaṃ tathā;
Ākhyātaṃ kitakaṃ kaṇḍā, sattime rūpasiddhiyaṃ.

[himself] called Dīpaṅkara, who won renown as the lamp of the Damiḷa land,
who, dwelling in the two residences, Bālādicca and the other,4 made the Teaching shine —
that monk (yati) named Buddhappiya composed this straightforward Rūpasiddhi.

Iti padarūpasiddhipakaraṇaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.

Thus the treatise Padarūpasiddhi is finished.
