A small Himalayan river
flowed smoothly then along its bank.
Back then the Self-Become-One dwelt
in a field close to that river.With a pleased heart and happy mind,
I gave to the Buddha right then
a couch made by taking gemstones,
superb, delightful, and diverse.In the ninety-four aeons since
I offered those gemstones to him,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā.And in the twelfth aeon ago
there were eight different kings back then,
all were known as Sataraṁsi,
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 Maṇipūjaka Thera spoke these Verses.
The legend of Maṇipūjaka Thera is finished.
