The Sambuddha named Ajjuna
dwelt in the Himalayas then.
He was Endowed with Good Conduct,
and Skillful in Meditation.Taking jīvajīvaka jak
the size of a jug for water,
and placing it on a leaf-fan,
I gave it to the Teacher then.In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave Buddha that fruit back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of giving fruit.Being in Best Buddha’s presence
was a very good thing for me.
The three knowledges are attained;
I have done what the Buddha taught!My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Panasaphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Panasaphaladāyaka Thera is finished.
