I gave a mat made out of leaves
to Siddhattha, the Blessed One,
and served that Buddha thoroughly,
then scattered flowers around for him.

I enjoyed a very costly
pleasant cave, and palaces too;
flowers which were most expensive
dropped into my bed at that time.

On my bed I snuggled on an
ornamented mat of flowers,
and a rain of flowers always
rained down upon my bed back then.

In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave that mat made out of leaves,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a giving a mat.

There were seven wheel-turning kings
all named Ṭhitosanthāraka
who were born, those lords of people,
then in the fifth aeon ago.

The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught!

Thus indeed Venerable Senāsanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Senāsanadāyaka Thera is finished.
