Walt 2665 Eighty-four thousand great people
renounced the world, nothing at all.
I gave precedence to them then,
wishing for the ultimate goal. Verse 1Walt 2666 In this world of lust and being,
they carefully attended on
the Undisturbed One, Lucid One,
feeling well-pleased by their own hands. Verse 2Walt 2667 Their Faults Destroyed, Defects Expelled,
they Did their Duty, Free of Fault,
Pervading all with Loving Hearts,
Self-Become Ones, Unconquered Ones; Verse 3Walt 2668 remembering those Sambuddhas,
having given service to them,
when the time of my death arrived,
I went to divine existence. Verse 3-4Walt 2669 In the ninety-four aeons since
I protected morals back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of being restrained. Verse 5Walt 2670 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6
Thus indeed Venerable Pubbaṅgamaniya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Pubbaṅgamaniya Thera is finished.
