Walt 1416 Like a lion with fearless form,
like a great harpy with strong wings,
like a superb bull of tigers,
and like a high-born lion-king, Verse 1Walt 1417 Sikhi, Refuge of the Three Worlds,
the Desireless One, Unconquered,
the Best Among the Monks sat there,
Honored by the monks’ Assembly. Verse 2Walt 1418 Having placed into a casket
a superb anoja flower,
sprinkling it on the Best Buddha
I also gave him that casket. Verse 3Walt 1419 Due to that pleasure in my heart
for the Biped-Lord, Bull of Men,
I’ve attained the unshaking state
beyond all conquest and defeat. Verse 4Walt 1420 In the thirty-one aeons since
I did that good karma back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 5Walt 1421 Throughout the thirtieth aeon hence
there were five wheel-turning monarchs.
They all were named Devabhūti,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 6Walt 1422 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 7
Thus indeed Venerable Pupphacaṅgoṭiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Pupphacaṅgoṭiya Thera is finished.
