Walt 1672 I saw the golden Sambuddha,
just like the hundred-raying sun,
shining forth in all directions
just like the moon when it is full, Verse 1
Walt 1673 surrounded by his followers
just like the earth is by the sea.
I presented to Vipassi
a pollen-filled ironwood bloom. Verse 2
Walt 1674 In the ninety-one aeons since
I offered that pollen to him,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 3
Walt 1675 In the forty-fifth aeon hence
there was a king known as Reṇu,
a wheel-turner with great power,
possessor of the seven gems. Verse 4
Walt 1676 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5
Thus indeed Venerable Reṇupūjaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Reṇupūjaka Thera is finished.
