In the city, Bandhumatī,
I lived in the royal garden.
I was then clothed in deer-leather,
carrier of a water-pot.

I saw the Buddha, Stainless One,
the Self-Become, Unconquered One,
Energetic, Meditator,
Lover of Trances, the Master,
Successful in All the Pleasures,
Flood-Crosser, the Undefiled One.
Having seen him, pleased and happy,
I gave some unguent to him.

In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave him that unguent then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of unguent.

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 Abbhañjanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Abbhañjanadāyaka Thera is finished.
