Walt 998 In the city Bandhumatī
I lived as a trader back then.
In that way supporting my wife
I planted the seeds of great wealth. Verse 1Walt 999 I donated one khoma cloth
to the Sage known as Vipassi,
Teacher, who had entered the road,
in order to obtain merit. Verse 2Walt 1000 In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave that khoma cloth back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth;
that is the fruit of giving cloth. Verse 3Walt 1001 Seven and twenty aeons ago
I was Sindhavasandana,
possessor of the seven gems,
and lord of the four continents. Verse 4Walt 1002 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5

The legend of Khomadāyaka Thera is finished.
