Walt 6294 In this present lucky aeon
Brahmā’s Kinsman, Greatly Famed One,
known by the name of Kassapa,
Best Debater, Buddha, arose. Verse 1
Walt 6295 Possessing Eighty Lesser Marks,
Bearing the Thirty-Two Great Marks,
Having a Fathom-Wide Aura,
Gone into a Net of Light-Rays, Verse 2
Walt 6296 as Comforting as is the moon,
Maker of Light just like the sun,
Quenching just as does a raincloud,
a Mine of Gems like the ocean, Verse 3
Walt 6297 Through morals like earth; through wisdom
like the sky; through meditation
like Himalaya; like the wind
he does not stick to anything. Verse 4
Walt 6298 At that very time I was born
in Benares, in a big clan,
rich in grain and abundant wealth,
with heaps of various gemstones. Verse 5
Walt 6299 Approaching the Leader, who was
seated with a large retinue,
I heard him preaching the Dhamma,
undying, delighting the mind. Verse 6
Walt 6300 Bearing the Thirty-Two Marks like
the moon with the constellations,
Possessing Eighty Lesser Marks,
like a regal sal tree in bloom, Verse 7
Walt 6301 Encircled by a Net of Rays,
like a shining mountain of gold,
Having a Fathom-Wide Aura,
like the sun shining on a lake, Verse 8
Walt 6302 Excellent Golden-Faced Victor,
like a mountain made of gemstones,
with a Heart Full of Compassion,
like the ocean through his virtue. Verse 9
Walt 6303 The Ultimate Man, like Mt. Meru,
his Praises are Famous World-wide;
Widespread with Fame, the Great Hero,
the Sage, who is the Same as Space, Verse 10
Walt 6304 Heart Unattached in every place,
the Leader is thus like the wind;
Support for all living beings,
the Seventh Sage is like the earth. Verse 11
Walt 6305 Kassapa, Unsoiled by the World
like a pink lotus by water,
shines forth like a mountain of fire
Burning the Bad-Speech Undergrowth. Verse 12
Walt 6306 Everywhere, like an antidote,
he Destroys the Defilement-Poison,
Adorned with the Scent of Virtue,
like Gandhamādana Mountain. Verse 13
Walt 6307 The Hero’s a Mine of Virtues
like the ocean is of gemstones;
Thoroughbred Man like a Sindh horse,
he Carries Off Defilement’s Filth. Verse 14
Walt 6308 Like a champion great soldier,
he Crushes the Army of Death;
he is like a wheel-turning king,
Lord of Wisdom’s Seven Gems. Verse 15
Walt 6309 Just like a man of medicine,
he Doctors the Illness called Faults;
just like the very best surgeon,
he Drains the Abscess called False Views. Verse 16
Walt 6310 At that time, the Torch of the World,
Honored by Gods along with Men,
the Sun among Men, the Victor,
preached Dhamma to his retinue. Verse 17
Walt 6311 “Giving alms one becomes wealthy,
through morals one gains well-being,
through meditation, nirvana:”
thus indeed he gave instruction. Verse 18
Walt 6312 Everyone in the retinue
hears that, his very sweet preaching,
pure in beginning, middle, end,
very tasty, like ambrosia. Verse 19
Walt 6313 Having heard his honeyed Teaching,
pleased in Victor’s dispensation,
going to Buddha for refuge,
I praised him as long as I lived. Verse 20
Walt 6314-6315 At that time, for eight days each month,
I covered over the ground of
the perfumed hut where lived the Sage
with the four types of fragrant things,
out of my wish for that good smell
for my own odor-free body.
Then the Victor prophesied that
I’d attain that fragrant body: Verse 21-22
Walt 6316-6317 “He who covered over the ground
of my own perfumed hut with scents,
as the result of that karma,
while being reborn here and there,
this man will be one who has a
good-smelling body everywhere.
Having the fragrance of virtue,
he’ll reach nirvana, undefiled.” Verse 23-24
Walt 6318 Due to that karma done very well,
with intention and firm resolve,
discarding my human body,
I went to Tāvatiṁsa then. Verse 25
Walt 6319 And now in my final rebirth,
I’m born in a clan of brahmins.
When I was dwelling in the womb,
my mother’s body was fragrant. Verse 26
Walt 6320 And when I was departing from
my mother’s womb, then the city,
Śrāvasti, was diffused with good
scents, as though it had been perfumed. Verse 27
Walt 6321 And a perfumed rain of flowers,
divinely-scented, delightful,
and very costly incense too,
was wafted about all that time. Verse 28
Walt 6322 And the gods rained down on that house,
the house in which I had been born,
a perfumed rain with all good-scented
types of incense and flowers too. Verse 29
Walt 6323 And while I, a lucky young man,
remained in the prime of my youth,
then the Charioteer of Men
guided Sela with retinue. Verse 30
Walt 6324 I too, along with all of them,
came to the city, Śrāvasti.
Seeing the Buddha’s majestic
power, I went forth at that time. Verse 31
Walt 6325 Morals, meditation, wisdom
and the freedom that’s unsurpassed;
cultivating those four things,
I attained my arahantship. Verse 32
Walt 6326 And when I was a renouncer,
and when I was an arahant,
and when I attained nirvana,
there was then a good-smelling rain. Verse 33
Walt 6327 The fragrance of my body is always blowing
costly sandalwood, champaka and blue lotus.
In just that way, gone here and there I’m perfuming,
suppressing all different scents in every respect. Verse 34
Walt 6328 My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. Verse 35
Walt 6329 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 36
Walt 6330 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 37
Thus indeed Venerable Cūlasugandha Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Cūlasugandha Thera is finished.
