Walt 1277 Padumuttara the Buddha
had pity on the whole world.
I donated a bed to him,
with a mind that was very clear. Verse 1Walt 1278 Because of that gift of a bed,
food would then just appear to me,
like a seed’s yield in a good field:
that’s the fruit of giving that bed. Verse 2Walt 1279 I make my bed up in the sky;
I am carrying the whole earth;
I have lordship over creatures:
that is the fruit of a bed-gift. Verse 3Walt 1280 Then five thousand aeons ago,
there were eight named Mahāvara;
thirty-four hundred aeons hence,
there were four kings with great strength. Verse 4Walt 1281 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5
Thus indeed Venerable Sayanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sayanadāyaka Thera is finished.
