Walt 1856 The Golden-Colored Sambuddha
Vipassi, Worthy of Respect,
Honored by all his followers,
set out from the monastery. Verse 1Walt 1857 Having seen the Best of Buddhas
the Omniscient One, Undefiled,
I did scented-flower-pūjā,
happy, and with a happy heart. Verse 2Walt 1858 Due to that pleasure in my heart
for the Biped-Lord, Neutral One,
again I worshipped the Thus-Gone-One,
happy, and with a happy heart. Verse 3Walt 1859 In the ninety-one aeons since
I offered that flower to him,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 4Walt 1860 In the forty-first aeon hence
the kṣatriyan named Varaṇa
was a wheel-turner with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems. Verse 5Walt 1861 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6
Thus indeed Venerable Gandhapupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Gandhapupphiya Thera is finished.
