Close to the Himalayan range,
there’s a mountain named Romasa.
The Buddha known as Sambhava
then dwelt there in the open air.Coming out of my residence,
I brought him a lotus flower.
Having brought a single one,
I went forward into rebirth.In the thirty-one aeons since
I offered him that flower,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā.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 Padumadhāriya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Padumadhāriya Thera is finished.
