Walt 2313 With a mind which was very clear,
I gave a single umbrella
to the Blessed One named Tissa,
the God of Gods, the Neutral One. Verse 1Walt 2314 The badness in me is suppressed;
there is achievement of goodness.
Umbrella carried in the sky:
the fruit of previous karma. Verse 2Walt 2315 This is my last transmigration,
all existences are canceled.
I now possess my last body
in the Buddha’s dispensation. Verse 3Walt 2316 In the ninety-two aeons since
I gave that umbrella back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of umbrella-gifts. Verse 4Walt 2317 The seventy-second aeon hence
there were eight lords of the people,
all known as Mahānidāna,
kings who were wheel-turning monarchs. Verse 5Walt 2318 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6
Thus indeed Venerable Vātātapanivāriya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Vātātapanivāriya Thera is finished.
