Walt 1902 Close to the Himalayan range,
there is a mountain called Vasabha.
My ashram is made very well
there at the foot of that mountain. Verse 1Walt 1903 For three thousand years that brahmin
uttered his teachings at that time.
Drawing the students together,
he dwelt there, sitting to one side. Verse 2Walt 1904 The brahmin master of mantras,
while sitting there off to one side,
searching the Buddha’s knowledge,
pleased his heart over knowledge then. Verse 3Walt 1905 After after pleasing my heart there,
I sat on a mat made of leaves;
getting into lotus posture,
I passed away right on the spot. Verse 4Walt 1906 In the thirty-one aeons since
I obtained that perception then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of perceiving knowledge. Verse 5Walt 1907 In the twenty-seventh aeon
there was a king, Siridhara,
a wheel-turner with great power,
possessor of the seven gems. Verse 6Walt 1908 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 7
Thus indeed Venerable Rahosaññaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Rahosaññaka Thera is finished.
