On a Himalayan mountain,
I was a hunter at that time.
I saw the Buddha, Vipassi,
the World’s Best, the Bull of Men.Attending on the Sambuddha
I did what’s proper for elders,
and then I went to the Biped Lord,
the Neutral Buddha, for refuge.In the ninety-one aeons since
I went for refuge at that time,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of going for refuge.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Saraṇagamaniya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Saraṇagamaniya Thera is finished.
