I cleaned up a mountain cave
for Piyadassi, the Blessed One,
and looked after the water pot
for the Neutral One’s consumption.Piyadassi, the Greatest Sage,
the Buddha, explained that for me
“a mil-kaṇḍa cent-bheṇḍu large
sacrifice post will come to be,
made out of gold, covered in flags;
a not small group of gems as well.”
Having given a mountain cave,
I joyed an aeon in heaven.In the thirty-second aeon
lived the ruler named Susuddha,
a wheel-turning king 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 Pabbhāradāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Pabbhāradāyaka Thera is finished.
The Summary:
Kesara, Gandha and Anna,
Dhammasañña and Phala too,
Pasāda, Ārāmadāyi,
Lomaka, Buddhasaññaka,
and Pabbhārada; the verses,
they say, are one less than fifty.
