Walt 1716 The Blessed One named Vipassi,
the World’s Best One, the Bull of Men,
sitting down, preached the deathless state
to the body of people there. Verse 1
Walt 1717 After having heard theTeaching
of that Biped-Lord, Neutral One,
I then offered to the Buddha
four flowers made out of fine gold. Verse 2
Walt 1718 There was a canopy of gold
stretched over the whole crowd back then.
From the Buddha’s light and the gold’s
there was a vast effulgence there. Verse 3
Walt 1719 Happy, with rapture in my heart,
thrilled, with my hands pressed together,
with joy produced for those who heard,
conveying pleasure to the world, Verse 4
Walt 1720 having invited the Buddha,
worshipping the Compliant One,
experiencing great delight
I then returned to my own house. Verse 5
Walt 1721 Having entered my residence,
I called to mind the Best Buddha.
Due to that pleasure in my heart,
I was reborn in Tusitā. Verse 6
Walt 1722 In the ninety-one aeons since
I offered that flower to him,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 7
Walt 1723 There were sixteen different kings then,
all known as Nemisammata,
in the forty-third aeon hence,
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength. Verse 8
Walt 1724 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 9
Thus indeed Venerable Suvaṇṇapupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Suvaṇṇapupphiya Thera is finished.
