Padumuttara the Buddha
had pity on the whole world.
I donated a bed to him,
with a mind that was very clear.

Because of that gift of a bed,
food would then just appear to me,
like a seed’s yield in a good field:
that’s the fruit of giving that bed.

I make my bed up in the sky;
I am carrying the whole earth;
I have lordship over creatures:
that is the fruit of a bed-gift.

Then five thousand aeons ago,
there were eight named Mahāvara;
thirty-four hundred aeons hence,
there were four kings with great strength.

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

Thus indeed Venerable Sayanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Sayanadāyaka Thera is finished.
