In the Himalayan region
there’s a mountain named Vikaṭa.
In its midst was dwelling back then
a monk with senses well-controlled.After seeing that monk’s calmness,
with my own mind very lucid,
gathering three champak flowers
I strew those blossoms about there.In the ninety-one aeons since
I did pūjā with that flower,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Ticampakapupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ticampakapupphiya Thera is finished.
