In the city, Bandhumatī,
there was a king named Bandhuma.
I was then the wife of that king,
behaving in a certain way.

Gone off alone, having sat down,
I then reflected in this way:
“I’ve done no wholesome deeds that I
can take and go when I have died.

I have no doubt about the fact
that I’ll certainly go to hell,
blazingly hot, laden with grief,
of frightful form, and very cruel.”

After having approached the king,
I then spoke these words to him:
“O kṣatriyan, do give to me
one monk, whom I will thenceforth feed.”

That great king gave a monk to me,
with cultivated faculties.
After having taken his bowl,
I satisfied him with milk-rice.

Having filled it up with milk-rice,
I applied some scented ointment.
Covering it with some netting,
I closed it with a blue lotus.

Making that my object of thought
for as long as my life lasted,
bringing pleasure to my heart there,
I went to Tāvatiṃsa then.

I was fixed in the chief queen’s place
of thirty kings among the gods.
Whatever my mind wishes for
comes into being as desired.

I was fixed in the chief queen’s place
of twenty kings who turned the wheel.
With accumulated merit,
I transmigrated through lifetimes.

I am set free from every bond;
my substrata are gone away;
all defilements are extinguished;
now there will be no more rebirth.

In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave that almsgiving back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of food that’s begged for.

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 Bhikkhunī Ekapiṇḍadāyikā spoke these verses.

The legend of Ekapiṇḍadāyikā Therī is finished.
