I was formerly a blacksmith
in the fine city Bandhumā.
I gave the gift of a needle
to Vipassi, the Sage so Great.Due to such karma my knowledge
is now just like a top diamond.
I have no lust, I’m fully free;
I have attained arahantship.With knowledge I learn everything
about all past existences
and present ones and future ones:
that is the fruit of needle-gifts.In the ninety-first aeon thence
lived seven Vajirasamas,
wheel-turning kings with great power,
possessors 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 Sucidāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sucidāyaka Thera is finished.
