Walt 2806 On a mountainside, Siddhattha,
like a lion which is well-born,
had lit up all the directions,
like a fire-mass on the mountain. Verse 1Walt 2807 Having seen Buddha’s effulgence,
like the effulgence of the sun,
and like the moon’s effulgence too,
great happiness arose for me. Verse 2Walt 2808 Seeing the three effulgences,
seeing the Ultimate Hearer,
placing deer-hide on one shoulder,
I praised the Leader of the World. Verse 3Walt 2809 The three makers of effulgence
dispelling darkness in the world,
are the moon, and also the sun,
and Buddha, Leader of the World. Verse 4Walt 2810 Illustrating these similes,
I spoke praises of the Great Sage.
Having extolled Buddha’s virtues,
I joyed an aeon in heaven. Verse 5Walt 2811 In the ninety-four aeons since
I extolled the Buddha back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of extolling. Verse 6Walt 2812 In the sixty-first aeon hence
there was one man, Ñāṇadhara,
a wheel-turning king with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems. Verse 7Walt 2813 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 8
Thus indeed Venerable Tiraṁsiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Tiraṁsiya Thera is finished.
