Walt 5396 In the city, Haṁsavatī,
I was a potter at that time.
I saw the Buddha, Stainless One,
the Flood-Crosser, Undefiled One. Verse 1
Walt 5397 I gave to him, the Best Buddha,
a well-fashioned bowl made of clay.
Giving that bowl to the Buddha,
the Honest One, the Neutral One, Verse 2
Walt 5398 being reborn in existence,
I’m receiving plates made of gold,
and flat bowls made of silver, gold,
and also some made out of gems; Verse 3
Walt 5399 I’m enjoying all these dishes:
that is the fruit of good karma.
I am the owner of bowls made
for the famous and the wealthy. Verse 4
Walt 5400-5401 As with a seed which is planted,
in a field which is bountiful:
when it rains, with proper support,
fruit pleases the cultivator;
so too is this bowl-donation,
well-planted in the Buddha-field:
when it rains the joy-bringing rain,
the fruit will be pleasing to me. Verse 5-6
Walt 5402 As far as merit-fields exist—
even the Assemblies and groups—
the Buddha-field has no equal,
giving great happiness to all. Verse 7
Walt 5403 Praise to you, O Well-Bred Person!
Praise to you, Ultimate Person!
After giving a single bowl,
I’ve attained the unshaking state. Verse 8
Walt 5404 In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave him that bowl at that time,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 9
Walt 5405 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. Verse 10
Walt 5406 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 11
Walt 5407 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 12
Thus indeed Venerable Ekapattadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ekapattadāyaka Thera is finished.
