There was a great Bodhi festival
for the Blessed One Vipassi.
I attended that festival,
being a person who’d renounced.Taking water strewn with flowers
I poured it on the Bodhi Tree.
“Freed, he will make all of us free;
Gone Out, he will make us go out.”In the ninety-one aeons since
I watered that Bodhi Tree then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of Bodhi-perception.When thirty-three aeons had passed
there were eight wheel-turning kings,
lords over men who were all then
known as Udakāsecana.The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Bodhisaññaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Bodhisaññaka Thera is finished.
