Back then I placed upon my head
seven trumpet-flower blossoms;
I offered them to the Buddha,
Vessabhu, Supreme among Men.In the thirty-one aeons since
I did pūjā with that flower,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of flower-pūjā.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Pāṭalipūjaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Pāṭalipūjaka Thera is finished.
