Walt 1601 There was a large group waiting on
Vipassi, then the Blessed One.
Busy with all sorts of duties,
I was then a humble servant. Verse 1Walt 1602 I had nothing that I could give
to that Well-Gone-One, the Great Sage,
so I worshipped the Teacher’s feet
with a mind that was very clear. Verse 2Walt 1603 In the ninety-one aeons since
I performed that service back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of doing service. Verse 3Walt 1604 Then, in the eighth aeon ago,
I was the king, Sucintita,
a wheel-turner with great power,
possessor of the seven gems. Verse 4Walt 1605 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5
Thus indeed Venerable Veyyāvaccaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Veyyāvaccaka Thera is finished.
