Walt 1393 I was born as a bird back then,
with good strong wings, a harpy-king.
I saw the Stainless Buddha go
on Gandhamādana Mountain. Verse 1
Walt 1394 Shedding my harpy appearance,
I got dressed in human clothing.
One piece of cloth I gave to the
Lord of Bipeds, the Neutral One. Verse 2
Walt 1395 Having taken that piece of cloth,
the Buddha, the World’s Top Leader,
the Teacher, standing in the sky
spoke these verses about me then: Verse 3
Walt 1396 “Because of the gift of this cloth
and the resolve in his own heart,
abandoning the harpy womb
he’ll delight in the world of gods.” Verse 4
Walt 1397 But Atthadassi, Blessed One,
the World’s Best One, the Bull of Men,
after praising the gift of cloth
then departed facing the north. Verse 5
Walt 1398 When I’m reborn in existence
attainments of cloth befall me;
there’s a canopy in the sky:
that is the fruit of giving cloth. Verse 6
Walt 1399 Seven men named Aruṇaka
were wheel-turners with great power.
In the thirty-fourth aeon hence
they were the lords over people. Verse 7
Walt 1400 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 8
Thus indeed Venerable Vatthadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Vatthadāyaka Thera is finished.
