Seeing a grove in the forest,
very quiet and undisturbed,
a place for sages’ practices
and receipt of sacrifices,making a stupa of bamboo
which was strewn with varied flowers,
I then worshipped my creation
as though facing the Sambuddha.I was king, lord of a country,
possessor of the seven gems.
I delighted in my karma:
that’s the fruit of stupa-pūjā.In the ninety-one aeons since
I honored him with flowers then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of stupa-pūjā.Eighty aeons ago I was
possessor of the seven gems,
wheel-turner Anantayasa,
the lord of the four continents.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Sakacittaniya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sakacittaniya Thera is finished.
