In the great woods was a stupa
of Phussa, the Blessed Buddha.
At that time there was a tree there,
broken in half by elephants.Full of delight at the virtues
of him Honored in the Three Worlds,
smoothing out the uneven ground,
I offered some very pure alms.In the ninety-two aeons since
I did that good karma then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of giving pure alms.Seventy-seven aeons hence
there were sixteen Jitasenas
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 Khaṇḍaphulliya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Khaṇḍaphulliya Thera is finished.
