Walt 2931 I gave a scented stupa for
Siddhattha Buddha, Blessed One,
enveloped by jasmine flowers
as befitted the Sambuddha. Verse 1Walt 2932 The Sambuddha, the World’s Leader,
was like a costly thing of gold,
bright like a blue water lily,
blazing up like a fire-altar. Verse 2Walt 2933-2934My heart was pleased by having seen
the Chief of Monks who was seated,
Honored by the monks’ Assembly,
like an excellent tiger-bull,
like a lion of good breeding,
and pressing my hands together,
having worshipped the Teacher’s feet,
I departed facing the north. Verse 3-4Walt 2935 In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave those good scents at that time,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of doing scent-pūjā. Verse 5Walt 2936 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6
Thus indeed Venerable Gandhathūpiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Gandhathūpiya Thera is finished.
