The one whose name was Paduma,
the Bull of Men, the Biped-Lord,
Eyeful One, setting out from the
forest, was then preaching Dhamma.There was a spirit-multitude
staying close to the Sage so Great.
Whatever work they’d arrived for
they looked after all of the time.Understanding the Buddha’s words
and preaching of the deathless state,
with a pleased heart and happy mind,
snapping my fingers I served him.Look at the fruit of good practice,
of service for the great Teacher:
in thirty thousand aeons thence,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth.In the twenty-nine-hundredth aeon,
one man named Samalaṅkata,
was a wheel-turner with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Supāricariya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Supāricariya Thera is finished.
