Walt 1915 Sitting in a large, peaked building,
I saw the Leader of the World,
Undefiled, Possessing Power,
Honored by the Monks’ Assembly. Verse 1Walt 1916 “Who is not pleased after seeing
a lakh with the three-fold knowledge,
special knowledges, superpowers,
all surrounding the Sambuddha? Verse 2Walt 1917 Who is not pleased after seeing
Sambuddha with boundless knowledge,
to whom none comes close in knowledge
in this world with its gods and men? Verse 3Walt 1918 Who is not pleased after seeing
him, the Whole One, the Mine of Gems,
explaining the Dhamma-body
which no one can ever injure?” Verse 4Walt 1919 Nārada Saragacchiya
by saying these three verses then
praised Buddha Padumuttara,
the Unconquered, the Sambuddha. Verse 5Walt 1920 Due to that pleasure in my heart
and my praising of the Buddha,
for one hundred thousand aeons
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth. Verse 6Walt 1921 In the thirtieth aeon hence
the Kṣatriyan named Sukhitta
was a wheel-turner with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems. Verse 7Walt 1922 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 8
Thus indeed Venerable Atthasandassaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Atthasandassaka Thera is finished.
