What grass a forest-dwelling sage
is reaping for the Great Teacher,
all those blades turning to the right
fell down upon the earth back then.

That I, taking a load of grass
and bringing blades of grass and leaves
of palmyra did make a mat,
spread out on the excellent ground.

Fashioning that grass and those leaves,
I gave that mat to Siddhattha;
for seven days I bore it there
for the Teacher of Gods and Men.

In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave the Buddha grass back then
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a gift of grass.

In the sixty-fifth aeon hence
there were four named Mahādhana,
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength,
possessors of the seven gems.

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

Thus indeed Venerable Tiṇasantharadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Tiṇasantharadāyaka Thera is finished.
