Walt 1595 I gave a mat made out of leaves
to Siddhattha, the Blessed One,
and served that Buddha thoroughly,
then scattered flowers around for him. Verse 1Walt 1596 I enjoyed a very costly
pleasant cave, and palaces too;
flowers which were most expensive
dropped into my bed at that time. Verse 2Walt 1597 On my bed I snuggled on an
ornamented mat of flowers,
and a rain of flowers always
rained down upon my bed back then. Verse 3Walt 1598 In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave that mat made out of leaves,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a giving a mat. Verse 4Walt 1599 There were seven wheel-turning kings
all named Ṭhitosanthāraka
who were born, those lords of people,
then in the fifth aeon ago. Verse 5Walt 1600 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6
Thus indeed Venerable Senāsanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Senāsanadāyaka Thera is finished.
