When Vessabhu was the Buddha,
I was a forest-dweller then.
With a pleased heart and happy mind,
I did serve the best Assembly.In the thirty-one aeons since
I did that good karma back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of doing service.In the seventh aeon ago,
there were seven Samotthatas,
wheel-turning kings with great power,
possessors 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 Saṅghupaṭṭhāka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Saṅghupaṭṭhāka Thera is finished.
