Walt 1401 Anomadassi, Blessed One,
while sitting on a mountain did
spread this endless world with loving-
kindness, the One Without Desires. Verse 1Walt 1402 I was a monkey at that time
in the supreme Himalayas.
Having seen Anoma, Boundless,
my heart was pleased in the Buddha. Verse 2Walt 1403 In the Himalayan region
mango trees were bearing fruit then.
Therefore, taking a mango fruit
I gave it, with a honey-comb. Verse 3Walt 1404 Anomadassi, the Great Sage,
Buddha prophesied this to me:
“because of both this honey-gift
and too this gift of mango fruit, Verse 4Walt 1405 you’ll delight in the world of gods
for fifty-seven aeons hence.
You will transmigrate in a mix
for all the remaining aeons. Verse 5Walt 1406 Having cast off evil karma
and with mature intelligence,
departing from this place of grief
you will destroy your defilements.” Verse 6Walt 1407 I’ve been tamed by the Sage So Great
by means of the superb taming.
I’ve attained the unshaking state
beyond all conquest and defeat. Verse 7Walt 1408 Seventy-seven aeons hence
there were fourteen different kings then
who were all named Ambaṭṭhaja
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength. Verse 8Walt 1409 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 9
Thus indeed Venerable Ambadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ambadāyaka Thera is finished.
