> Might anyone know the source of this Pali verse?

The Brahmaayusutta (MN 91), but with a few flaws. The VRI version reads:

pubbenivaasa.m yo vedi, saggaapaaya~nca passati |
atho jaatikkhaya.m patto, abhi~n~naa vosito muni ||

citta.m visuddha.m jaanaati, mutta.m raagehi sabbaso |
pahiinajaatimara.no, brahmacariyassa kevalii |
paaraguu sabbadhammaana.m, buddho taadii pavuccatii ti ||

Best wishes,
Dhammanando
