A half-moon was given by me
at the tree rising up from earth,
at the feet of Blessed Tissa’s
Bodhi, a crocodile-bark tree.In the ninety-two aeons since
I offered that flower to it,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Bodhi-pūjā.In the twenty-fifth aeon hence
a kṣatriyan named Devapa
was a wheel-turner 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 Aḍḍhacandiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Aḍḍhacandiya Thera is finished.
