“Phussassa kho bhagavato,

thūpo āsi mahāvane;

Kuñjarehi tadā bhinno,

parūḷho pādapo tahiṁ.

Visamañca samaṁ katvā,

sudhāpiṇḍaṁ adāsahaṁ;

Tilokagaruno tassa,

guṇehi paritosito.

Dvenavute ito kappe,

yaṁ kammamakariṁ tadā;

Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi,

sudhāpiṇḍassidaṁ phalaṁ.

Sattasattatikappamhi,

jitasenāsuṁ soḷasa;

Sattaratanasampannā,

cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā khaṇḍaphulliyo thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Khaṇḍaphulliyattherassāpadānaṁ tatiyaṁ.

Walt 2225 In the great woods was a stupa
of Phussa, the Blessed Buddha.
At that time there was a tree there,
broken in half by elephants. Verse 1

Walt 2226 Full of delight at the virtues
of him Honored in the Three Worlds,
smoothing out the uneven ground,
I offered some very pure alms. Verse 2

Walt 2227 In the ninety-two aeons since
I did that good karma then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of giving pure alms. Verse 3

Walt 2228 Seventy-seven aeons hence
there were sixteen Jitasenas
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 4

Walt 2229 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5

Thus indeed Venerable Khaṇḍaphulliya Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Khaṇḍaphulliya Thera is finished.
