Back then I was the conch-blower
for Vipassi, the Blessed One,
constantly engaged in service
to the Well-Gone One, the Great Sage.Look at the fruit of that service
to the Neutral One, the World-Chief:
sixty thousand turiya-drums
are constantly attending me.In the ninety-one aeons since
I served the Great Sage in that way,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of doing service.In the twenty-fourth aeon hence
there were sixteen different kings then;
all were named Mahānigghosa,
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Buddhūpaṭṭhāka Thera spoke these verses.
