Walt 151 On Candabhāgā River’s bank,
I was a kinnarī back then.
And then I saw the God of Gods,
Bull of Men, walking back and forth. Verse 1Walt 152 Plucking a salala flower,
I gave it to the Best Buddha.
And then the Great Hero did sniff
the salala with divine scent. Verse 2Walt 153 Accepting it the Sambuddha,
Vipassi, Leader of the World,
Great Hero then sniffed it again
for me while I was watching him. Verse 3Walt 154 Pressing my hands together then,
I worshipped the Best of Bipeds.
Bringing pleasure to my own heart,
I then ascended the mountain. Verse 4Walt 155 In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave him that flower back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 5Walt 156 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. Verse 6Walt 157 Being in Best Buddha's presence
was a very good thing for me.
The three knowledges are attained;
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 7Walt 158 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 8
Thus indeed Bhikkhunī Salalapupphikā spoke these verses.
The legend of Salalapupphikā Therī is finished.
