As it stepped I saw the foot of
Tissa, the Kinsman of the Sun.
Happy, and with a happy heart,
I pleased my heart over that foot.In the ninety-two aeons since
I obtained that perception then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of foot-perception.In the seventh aeon ago
the Kṣatriyan named Sumedha
was a wheel-turner with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Padasaññaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Padasaññaka Thera is finished.
