The Sambuddha was named Tissa;
he dwelt in the forest back then.
Coming here from Tusitā, I
I gave alms food to that Buddha.I saluted the Sambuddha,
the Greatly Famed One named Tissa.
Bringing pleasure to my own heart,
I then went back to Tusitā.In the ninety-two aeons since
I gave that almsgiving back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of giving alms food.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Piṇḍapātika Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Piṇḍapātika Thera is finished.
