I gave a fan of palmyra,
covered with jasmine flowers, to
Siddhattha, the Blessed One, and
bore it for the Greatly Famed One.In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave that palmyra fan then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of palmyra fans.My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint.My being in 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 Sumanatālavaṇṭiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sumanatālavaṇṭiya Thera is finished.
