Walt 1972 The Eyeful One went in the forest
after he had crossed a river.
I saw Siddhattha, Sambuddha,
Bearing all the Excellent Marks. Verse 1Walt 1973 Carrying a hoe and basket
I then made that pathway level,
and having worshipped the Teacher,
I brought my own heart great pleasure. Verse 2Walt 1974 In the ninety-four aeons since
I did that good karma back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of giving a road. Verse 3Walt 1975 In the fifty-seventh aeon,
there was one person at the top;
he was a lord, ruler of men,
who was known as Suppabuddha. Verse 4Walt 1976 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5
Thus indeed Venerable Maggadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Maggadāyaka Thera is finished.
