519. {522.} Pecchadāyaka

Walt 5550 I gifted one thing called peccha,
with great pleasure, with both my hands,
to Vipassi, the Blessed One,
the World’s Best One, the Neutral One. Verse 1

Walt 5551 Elephant and horse vehicles,
divine vehicles are obtained;
due to that gift of a peccha,
I attained my arahantship. Verse 2

Walt 5552 In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave him that peccha back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of giving a peccha. Verse 3

Walt 5553 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. Verse 10

Walt 5554 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 11

Walt 5555 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 12

Thus indeed Venerable Pecchadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Pecchadāyaka Thera is finished.
