Digging out the sand which was old
I scattered pure clean sand about
the superb tree, the Bodhi Tree,
of Vipassi the Blessed One.In the ninety-one aeons since
I donated that sand back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth;
that is the fruit of giving sand.Three and fifty aeons ago
I was King Mahāpuḷina,
a conqueror of the people,
a wheel-turner, with great power.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Puḷinapūjaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Puḷinapūjaka Thera is finished.
