The Sambuddha named Ajjuna
lived in the Himalayas then,
he Endowed with Good Behavior,
Skilled in Meditation, the Sage.Taking a water-jug’s worth of
ajela, jīvajīvaka,
and taking umbrella-leaves too,
I gave them to the Teacher then.In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave him that fruit at that time,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of giving fruit.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 Ajelaphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ajelaphaladāyaka Thera is finished.
