Cheerful, with pleasure in my heart,
I worshipped the Best of Buddhas,
Vessabhu, Victorious One,
the Bull, the Excellent, Hero.In the thirty-one aeons since
I did that good karma back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of worshipping.In the twenty-fourth aeon hence
lived one named Vigatānanda,
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 Ekavandiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ekavandiya Thera is finished.
The Summary:
Ālambana and Ajina,
Maṁsa, Ārakkhadāyaka,
Avyādhi, Aṅkola, Soṇṇa,
Miñja, Āveḷa, Vandana;
fifty-five verses are counted
by those ones who know the meaning.
