“Tiṁsakappasahassamhi,

sambuddho lokanāyako;

Sumedho nāma nāmena,

bāttiṁsavaralakkhaṇo.

Tassa kañcanavaṇṇassa,

dvipadindassa tādino;

Pañca sūcī mayā dinnā,

sibbanatthāya cīvaraṁ.

Teneva sūcidānena,

nipuṇatthavipassakaṁ;

Tikkhaṁ lahuñca phāsuñca,

ñāṇaṁ me udapajjatha.

Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṁ,

bhavā sabbe samūhatā;

Dhāremi antimaṁ dehaṁ,

sammāsambuddhasāsane.

Dvipadādhipatī nāma,

rājāno caturo ahuṁ;

Sattaratanasampannā,

cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā sūcidāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Sūcidāyakattherassāpadānaṁ sattamaṁ.

Walt 1452 Thirty thousand aeons ago
the Sambuddha, the World-Leader,
Bearing the Thirty-Two Great Marks,
was the Buddha named Sumedha. Verse 1

Walt 1453 Five needles were given by me
to the One of Golden Color,
the Biped-Lord, the Neutral One,
so that Buddha could stitch his robes. Verse 2

Walt 1454 Because of just that needle-gift,
knowledge did then arise in me
with clever meanings and insights,
sharp and quick and comfortable. Verse 3

Walt 1456 I have burnt up my defilements;
all existence is now destroyed.
I am bearing my last body
in the Supreme Buddha’s teaching. Verse 4

Walt 1455 There were four kings all with the name
Dipadādhipati back then,
wheel-turners who had great power,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 5

Walt 1457 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6

Thus indeed Venerable Sūcidāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Sūcidāyaka Thera is finished.
