When Vipassi Buddha was born,
there was a vast effulgence there.
The earth itself quaked in response,
as did its oceans and mountains.

They interpreted the omens:
“A Buddha is born in the world,
the Top of all living beings
who will lift up all the people.”

Having heard news of the omens,
I performed pūjā for the birth.
There is no pūjā quite like the
pūjā that is done for the birth.

Having brought my own heart pleasure,
restraining myself wholesomely,
after doing that birth-pūjā
I passed away right on the spot.

In whichever womb I’m reborn,
whether it’s human or divine,
I surpass all other creatures:
that is the fruit of birth-pūjā.

The relics now look after me,
through the power of my own heart.
Others cannot disturb me now:
that is the fruit of birth-pūjā.

In the ninety-one aeons since
I performed that pūjā back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of birth-pūjā.

In the thirtieth aeon ago,
four and thirty lords of people,
all named Supāricariya,
were wheel-turning kings with great strength.

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

Thus indeed Venerable Jātipūjaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Jātipūjaka Thera is finished.
