Walt 1368 “Who is not pleased after seeing
the Bull, the Best One, the Hero,
the Sage So Great, Victorious One,
the Golden-Colored Sambuddha? Verse 1Walt 1369 Who is not pleased after seeing
the Buddha’s meditative states,
boundless as the Himalayas,
as hard to cross as the ocean? Verse 2Walt 1370 Who is not pleased after seeing
the Buddha’s moral discipline,
as boundless as the earth itself,
diverse wreath of forest-flowers? Verse 3Walt 1371 Who is not pleased after seeing
the knowledge Buddha possesses,
unagitated like the sky,
as unfathomable as space?” Verse 4Walt 1372 Having extolled the Best Buddha,
Siddhattha, the Unconquered One,
with these four verses when I was
the brahmin whose name was Yena, Verse 5Walt 1373 I was reborn in no ill-state
for four and ninety aeons thence;
I enjoyed no small quantity
of happiness in good rebirths. Verse 6Walt 1374 In the ninety-four aeons since
I praised the Leader of the World,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of praising him. Verse 7Walt 1375 In the fourteenth aeon ago
there were four men named Uggata,
wheel-turning kings with great power,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 8Walt 1376 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 9
Thus indeed Venerable Parappasādaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Parappasādaka Thera is finished.
