Walt 1934 I was one who harmed others then,
a harmer of other beings.
I rested on a mountain slope
near the Teacher known as Sikhi. Verse 1Walt 1935 In the evening and the morning
I saw the Buddha, the World-Chief.
But I had nothing to give to
the Biped-Lord, the Neutral One. Verse 2Walt 1936 Taking a piyāla fruit, I
went into the Buddha’s presence.
The Blessed One accepted it,
the World’s Best One, the Bull of Men. Verse 3Walt 1937 Thenceforth for the sake of others
I waited on Sikhi, the Guide,
and with that pleasure in my heart
I passed away right on the spot. Verse 4Walt 1938 In the thirty-one aeons since
I gave that fruit to the Buddha,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of giving fruit. Verse 5Walt 1939 In the fifteenth aeon ago
there were three men named Mālabhi,
wheel-turning kings with great power,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 6Walt 1940 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 7
Thus indeed Venerable Piyālaphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Piyālaphaladāyaka Thera is finished.
