Walt 700 Padumuttara’s khoma cloth
I gave to the Self-Become One,
the Sage So Great, the Blessed One,
the Best in the World, Neutral One. Verse 1Walt 701 Then Buddha, named for the lotus
made this prophesy about me:
“due to giving this piece of cloth
you will have the color of gold. Verse 2Walt 702 Experiencing two-fold bliss
incited by your wholesome roots
you will be the younger brother
of Gotama the Blessed One. Verse 3Walt 703 Happy by nature but lustful,
you will be greedy for pleasures.
Being incited by Buddha
you will then go forth, renouncing. Verse 4Walt 704 After you’ve renounced the world there,
incited by your wholesome roots,
knowing well all the defilements.
you’ll reach nirvana, undefiled.” Verse 5Walt 705 In the seven-thousandth aeon
there were four with the name Cela;
sixty thousand aeons ago
there were four named Upacela; Verse 6Walt 706 in the five-thousandth aeon ago
there were four people named Cela;
they were rulers of the four continents
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 7Walt 707 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 8
Thus indeed Venerable Nanda Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Nanda Thera is finished.
