Happy, with pleasure in my heart,
I had the spot of earth cleared for
the foot of the superb Bodhi
of Dhammadassi Buddha, Sage.From a cliff or from a mountain,
when I have fallen from a tree,
I get support to break the fall:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth.Thieves are not harassing me and
rulers don’t despise me either;
I am surpassing all my friends:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth.In whichever womb I’m reborn,
whether it’s human or divine,
everywhere I’m being worshipped:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth.In the eighteen hundred aeons
since I prepared that spot of earth,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth.My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint.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!The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Jagatidāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Jagatidāyaka Thera is finished.
