I saw the Leader of the World,
shining like a dinner-plate tree,
like the moon on the fifteenth day,
blazing forth like a tree of lamps.

Having taken a citron fruit
I then gave it to the Teacher,
he Worthy of Gifts, the Hero,
feeling well- pleased by my own hands.

In the thirty-one aeons since
I gave him that fruit at that time,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of giving fruit.

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 Mātuluṅgaphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Mātuluṅgaphaladāyaka Thera is finished.
