380. {383.} Udumbaraphaladāyaka

Walt 3292 The Ultimate Person dwelt on
the banks of Vinatā River.
I saw the Buddha, Stainless One,
the Calm One, Very Composed One. Verse 1

Walt 3293 My mind full of pleasure in him,
who Cleans the Stain of Defilement,
gathering udumbara fruit
I gave it to the Best Buddha. Verse 2

Walt 3294 In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave the Buddha fruit back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of giving fruit. Verse 3

Walt 3295 Being in Best Buddha’s presence
was a very good thing for me.
The three knowledges are attained;
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 4

Walt 3296 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. Verse 5

Walt 3297 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6

Thus indeed Venerable Udumbaraphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Udumbaraphaladāyaka Thera is finished.
