Discerning what I was thinking,
the Teacher, the World’s Chief Leader,
by means of his body made of
mind approached me through his powers.

While attending on the Teacher,
worshipping the Supreme Person,
happy, with pleasure in my heart,
I gave a sesame-handful.

In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave a sesame-handful,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
a handful of sesame’s fruit.

In the sixteenth aeon ago
the kṣatriyan named Nandiya
was a wheel-turning king with great strength,
possessor 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 Tilamuṭṭhidāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Tilamuṭṭhidāyaka Thera is finished.
