I, being then a deity,
honored by celestial nymphs,
reborn due to my past karma,
recalled him, the Best of Buddhas.Having plucked three kaṇṇi flowers,
bringing pleasure to my own mind,
I offered them to the Buddha
Vipassi, the Bull among Men.In the ninety-one aeons since
I offered that flower to him,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā.Seventy-three aeons ago
there were four Naruttamas,
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength,
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 Tikaṇṇipupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Tikaṇṇipupphiya Thera is finished.
