Walt 1384 Roaming a mountain hard to reach
I was then a high-born lion.
Slaying assemblies of wild beasts
I was living on that mountain. Verse 1Walt 1385 But Atthadassi, Blessed One,
Best Debater, Omniscient One,
with a wish for my upliftment
came to that superb mountain then. Verse 2Walt 1386 I approached wishing to eat some
spotted antelopes I had killed.
At that time the Blessed One did
come there during his begging rounds. Verse 3Walt 1387 Taking excellent chunks of meat,
I gave them to the Teacher then.
The Great Hero gave thanks for that,
thus bringing me toward nirvana. Verse 4Walt 1388 I entered that hard-reached mountain
with that pleasure in my own heart,
and having given birth to joy,
I passed away right then and there. Verse 5Walt 1389 Because of that gift of some meat
and the resolve in my own heart,
for fifteen hundred aeons I
delighted in the world of gods. Verse 6Walt 1390 In all the remaining aeons
I always acted wholesomely,
because of the gift of that meat,
and through Buddha-recollection. Verse 7Walt 1391 In the thirty-eighth aeon hence
there were eight kings named Dighāyu.
In the sixtieth aeon hence
there were two kings named Varuṇa. Verse 8Walt 1392 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 9
Thus indeed Venerable Sucintita Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sucintita Thera is finished.
