I gave a plank for stepping on
to Kakusandha, the Great Sage,
the Brahmin, the Perfected One,
going during the siesta.Within the present aeon, since
I gave him that donation then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of a foot-plank.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 Akkamanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Akkamanadāyaka Thera is finished.
