I made the Bodhi-railing of
the Great Sage, Anomadassi.
After giving balls of plaster,
I did all of the work by hand.Anomadassi, the Best Man,
the Teacher, seated with the monks,
having seen that work so well done,
then uttered this verse about me:“Because of this plastering work,
and his intention and resolve,
after enjoying happiness,
he’ll make an end to suffering.”My complexion shows my pleasure;
I’m tranquil and well-self-controlled.
I am bearing my last body
in the Buddha’s dispensation.When the hundredth aeon ago
and no less had been completed,
I was named King Sabbagghana,
a wheel-turner with great power.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Anulepadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Anulepadāyaka Thera is finished.
