Walt 1707 Back then I was the king of gods,
known by the name of Varuṇa.
I attended the Sambuddha,
as his vehicle of power. Verse 1Walt 1708 When Atthadassi, the Best Man,
Lord of the World, reached nirvana,
supplying all the turiyas,
I went to the best Bodhi tree. Verse 2Walt 1709 As though facing the Sambuddha
I attended on the best Bodhi,
with music and with dances too,
well-accompanied by cymbals. Verse 3Walt 1710 After having served that Bodhi
tree growing up from the earth there,
having eaten, with my legs crossed,
I passed away right on the spot. Verse 4Walt 1711 Delighting in my own karma,
pleased in that superb Bodhi tree,
due to that pleasure in my heart,
I have achieved nirvana now. Verse 5Walt 1712 And sixty thousand instruments
are attending me all the time
as I move on from birth to birth
among humans and also gods. Verse 6Walt 1713 The three fires are blown out in me;
all new existence is destroyed.
I am bearing my last body
in the Buddha’s dispensation. Verse 7Walt 1714 In the five hundredth aeon hence
there were thirty-four kṣatriyans
all of whom were named Subahū,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 8Walt 1715 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 9
Thus indeed Venerable Ekāsaniya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ekāsaniya Thera is finished.
