being only seven years old.
With a mind that was very clear
I then worshipped the Teacher’s feet. Verse 1
Walt 1507 Then I tossed up into the air
seven nagaliki flowers
for the sake of Tissa Buddha,
the Boundless Ocean of Virtues. Verse 2
Walt 1508 Happy-minded, I did pūjā
on the road the Well-Gone-One trod,
then I pressed my hands together
feeling well- pleased by my own hands. Verse 3
Walt 1509 In the ninety-two aeons since
I did that good karma back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 4

there were three named Aggisikha.
They were wheel-turners with great strength,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 5
Walt 1511 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6
