448. {451.} Jagatidāyaka

Walt 4797 Happy, with pleasure in my heart,
I had the spot of earth cleared for
the foot of the superb Bodhi
of Dhammadassi Buddha, Sage. Verse 1

Walt 4798 From a cliff or from a mountain,
when I have fallen from a tree,
I get support to break the fall:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth. Verse 2

Walt 4799 Thieves are not harassing me and
rulers don’t despise me either;
I am surpassing all my friends:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth. Verse 3

Walt 4800 In whichever womb I’m reborn,
whether it’s human or divine,
everywhere I’m being worshipped:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth. Verse 4

Walt 4801 In the eighteen hundred aeons
since I prepared that spot of earth,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a spot of earth. Verse 5

Walt 4802 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. Verse 6

Walt 4803 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 7

Walt 4804 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 8

Thus indeed Venerable Jagatidāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Jagatidāyaka Thera is finished.
