On a Himalayan mountain,
I was a kinnara back then.
I saw the Buddha, Stainless One,
bright but cool like a rayless sun
who had approached me at that time,
Vipassi Buddha, World-Leader.
And then I rubbed upon his feet
sandalwood and also incense.In the ninety-one aeons since
I performed pūjā to those feet,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of doing foot-pūjā.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Padapūjaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Padapūjaka Thera is finished.
