“Siddhatthassa bhagavato,

sīhāsanassa sammukhā;

Dhammacakkaṁ me ṭhapitaṁ,

sukataṁ viññuvaṇṇitaṁ.

Cāruvaṇṇova sobhāmi,

sayoggabalavāhano;

Parivārenti maṁ niccaṁ,

anuyantā bahujjanā.

Saṭṭhitūriyasahassehi,

paricāremahaṁ sadā;

Parivārena sobhāmi,

puññakammassidaṁ phalaṁ.

Catunnavutito kappe,

yaṁ cakkaṁ ṭhapayiṁ ahaṁ;

Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi,

dhammacakkassidaṁ phalaṁ.

Ito ekādase kappe,

aṭṭhāsiṁsu janādhipā;

Sahassarājanāmena,

cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā dhammacakkiko thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Dhammacakkikattherassāpadānaṁ navamaṁ.

Walt 1104 On the front of the lion-throne
of Siddhattha, the Blessed One,
a Dhamma-wheel was placed by me,
well-fashioned, and praised by the wise. Verse 1

Walt 1105 I shine, a charming gold color;
have vehicles, army and mounts.
Many people attached to me
are waiting on me, constantly. Verse 2

Walt 1106 I am always attended by
sixty thousand instruments,
beautified by my retinue:
that is the fruit of good karma. Verse 3

Walt 1107 In the ninety-four aeons since
I established that Dhamma-wheel
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a Dhamma-wheel. Verse 4

Walt 1108 Eleven aeons after that
there were eight lords over countries;
all were named Sahassarāja,
wheel-turning kings with great power. Verse 5

Walt 1109 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6

Thus indeed Venerable Dhammacakkika Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Dhammacakkika Thera is finished.
