I praised the apadānas of
the Great Sages, the Well-Gone Ones,
and worshipped them, head on their feet,
feeling well-pleased by my own hands.In the ninety-two aeons since
I praised the apadāna poems
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of extolling.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Apadāniya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Apadāniya Thera is finished.
