Walt 6372 When Kakusandha passed away,
the Brahmin, the Perfected One,
gathering salala flowers,
I constructed a pavilion.Walt 6373 Having gone to Tāvatiṁsa,
I received a supreme mansion.
I surpassed all the other gods:
that is the fruit of good karma.Walt 6374 Whether it’s the day or the night,
walking back and forth or standing,
I’m covered with salala blooms:
that is the fruit of good karma.Walt 6375 Within just this present aeon
since I thus worshipped the Buddha,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā.Walt 6376 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint.Walt 6377 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!Walt 6378 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!
Thus indeed Venerable Kimbila Thera spoke these verses.
