With a pleased heart and happy mind,
I gave a single lamp back then
at the superb Saḷala Bodhi
of the Sage, Padumuttara.Transmigrating in existence,
reborn with great heaps of merit,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of a lamp-gift.In the sixteen-thousandth aeon
there were these four different men then,
all known by the name Candābha,
wheel-turning kings 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 Ekadīpiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ekadīpiya Thera is finished.
