Walt 2169 The Blessed One known as Tissa
was the World’s Best, the Bull of Men;
Honored by the monks’ Assembly,
he went out onto the highway. Verse 1Walt 2170 Wishing to give an offering
to achieve my vow, I picked up
five handfuls of lotus blossoms
and four more handfuls placed by me. Verse 2Walt 2171 Delighted by the Buddha’s rays,
I gave them to the Best Biped,
the Golden-Colored Sambuddha
who was walking through the bazaar. Verse 3Walt 2172 In the ninety-two aeons since
I offered those flowers to him,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 4Walt 2173 In the thirtieth aeon hence
there were five Subhāsammatās,
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 5Walt 2174 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6
Thus indeed Venerable Pañcahatthiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Pañcahatthiya Thera is finished.
