I caused an altar to be made
for Siddhattha, the Blessed One,
and I also gave protection
to the Well-Gone One, the Great Sage.As the remainder of that deed,
fear and terror I do not see.
Wherever I have been reborn,
no fright is ever known by me.In the ninety-four aeons since
I caused that altar to be made,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of an altar-gift.And in the sixth aeon ago
lived one known as Apassena,
a wheel-turning king with great strength,
possessor 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 Ārakkhadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ārakkhadāyaka Thera is finished.
