I was formerly a hunter,
wandering in the woods back then.
I saw the Buddha, Stainless One,
who was Master of Everything.

Carrying kureñjiya fruit,
I gave it to the Best Buddha,
the Field of Merit, 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 Kureñjiyaphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Kureñjiyaphaladāyaka Thera is finished.
