Walt 1606 Back then I was the conch-blower
for Vipassi, the Blessed One,
constantly engaged in service
to the Well-Gone One, the Great Sage. Verse 1Walt 1607 Look at the fruit of that service
to the Neutral One, the World-Chief:
sixty thousand turiya-drums
are constantly attending me. Verse 2Walt 1608 In the ninety-one aeons since
I served the Great Sage in that way,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of doing service. Verse 3Walt 1609 In the twenty-fourth aeon hence
there were sixteen different kings then;
all were named Mahānigghosa,
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength. Verse 4Walt 1610 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5
