13. Ký Sự về Modakadāyikā

“Nagare bandhumatiyā,

kumbhadāsī ahosahaṁ;

Mama bhāgaṁ gahetvāna,

gacchaṁ udakahārikā.

Panthamhi samaṇaṁ disvā,

santacittaṁ samāhitaṁ;

Pasannacittā sumanā,

modake tīṇidāsahaṁ.

Tena kammena sukatena,

cetanāpaṇidhīhi ca;

Ekanavutikappāni,

vinipātaṁ nagacchahaṁ.

Sampatti taṁ karitvāna,

sabbaṁ anubhaviṁ ahaṁ;

Modake tīṇi datvāna,

pattāhaṁ acalaṁ padaṁ.

Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṁ,

…pe…

viharāmi anāsavā.

Svāgataṁ vata me āsi,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ modakadāyikā bhikkhunī imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Modakadāyikātheriyāpadānaṁ tatiyaṁ.

Walt 159 In the city, Bandhumatī,
I was a water-jug slave-girl.
After receiving my wages,
I went with a water-fetcher. Verse 1

Walt 160 Having seen a monk on the road,
attentive with a well-calmed heart,
happy, with pleasure in my heart,
I gave the monk three sweetmeats then. Verse 2

Walt 161 Due to that karma done very well,
with intention and firm resolve,
for one more than ninety aeons
I went not to a place of grief. Verse 3

Walt 162 Giving him material goods,
I then experienced all of that.
Having given those three sweetmeats
I attained the unshaking state. Verse 4

Walt 163 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. Verse 5

Walt 164 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 6

Walt 165 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 7

Thus indeed Bhikkhunī Modakadāyikā spoke these verses.

The legend of Modakadāyikā Therī is finished.
