In the Himalayan region,
there’s a mountain named Udaka.
There I saw the Buddha’s rag-robe,
stuck up in the top of a tree.

Plucking three kiṅkhani flowers,
that were growing there at that time,
happy, and with a happy heart,
I offered them to that rag-robe.

Due to that karma done very well,
with intention and firm resolve,
discarding my human body,
I went to Tāvatiṃsa then.

In the ninety-one aeons since
I did pūjā to that Buddha,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā.

My defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint.

Being in Best Buddha’s presence
was a very good thing for me.
The three knowledges are attained;
I have done what the Buddha taught!

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

Thus indeed Venerable Paŋsukūlapūjaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Paŋsukūlapūjaka Thera is finished.
