The Bodhi Puja Gatha, also known as the "Hymn of Enlightenment," is a Buddhist scripture that commemorates the moment when Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. This sacred text is a collection of verses, prayers, and meditations that not only recount the events leading to the Buddha's enlightenment but also provide a roadmap for spiritual seekers to follow.

Pouring water at the base of the tree symbolizes the cleansing of one's own mind and the nurturing of Dhamma. Iminā puññakammena, bodhimūle nisinno va Jitvā māraṃ sasenaṃ, sambodhimagamā muni. English:
