The Buddha named Kakusandha
the Self-Become One, Unconquered,
coming out from the great forest
had arrived at a big river.Taking a golden shower bloom,
having a mind full of pleasure,
I gave it to the Self-Become,
Self-Controlled One, the Honest One.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 Uddāladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Uddāladāyaka Thera is finished.
The Summary:
Tuvara, Nāga, Nalinā,
Virava, Kuṭidhūpaka,
Patta, Dhātu, Pāṭaliya,
and Bimbi; with Uddālaka
thirty-seven verses counted
by those ones who know the meaning.
