Walt 1307 After praising the true Teaching
of Buddha Padumuttara
who took pity on all creatures,
I was one who had upright views. Verse 1Walt 1308 I donated a gift of lamps
to surround the great Bodhi Tree.
Believing in the Buddha I
then lit those lamps all of the time. Verse 2Walt 1309 In whichever womb I’m reborn
whether it’s human or divine,
torches are carried in the sky:
that is the fruit of giving lamps. Verse 3Walt 1310 Right through walls, also right through rocks,
and passing over mountain-tops,
I can see in all directions
even one hundred leagues distant. Verse 4Walt 1312 Through the rest of that good karma
I have attained arahantship.
I’m bearing my last body in
the Biped-Lord’s dispensation. Verse 5Walt 1311 Thirty-four hundred aeons thence
I was known as Satacakkhu;
I was a king with great power,
a wheel-turner who had great strength. Verse 6Walt 1313 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 7
Thus indeed Venerable Pañcadīpika Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Pañcadīpika Thera is finished.
