Mahākoṭṭhikattheragāthā  Mahākoṭṭhita

“Upasanto uparato,  Calm and still,
mantabhāṇī anuddhato;  thoughtful in counsel, not restless—
Dhunāti pāpake dhamme,  he shakes off bad qualities
dumapattaṁva māluto”ti.  as the gale shakes leaves off a tree.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā mahākoṭṭhiko thero gāthaṁ abhāsitthāti. 
mahākoṭṭhiko → mahākoṭṭhito (bj, sya1ed, sya2ed); mahākoṭṭhika (pts1ed, pts2ed)
That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Mahākoṭṭhita.
