The Legends of the Therīs

7. Kaṭacchubhikkhadāyikā

Taking a spoonful of begged food,
I gave it to the Best Buddha,
the Teacher, whose name was Tissa,
who was wandering, begging food.

Accepting it, the Sambuddha,
Tissa, Chief Leader of the World,
the Teacher, standing on the road,
uttered this thanksgiving to me:

“Giving this spoonful of begged food,
you will go to Tāvatiṃsa.
You’ll be fixed in the chief queen’s place
of thirty-six kings of the gods.

You’ll be fixed in the chief queen’s place
of fifty kings who turn the wheel.
Everything your mind may wish for,
you will receive it every day.

Having enjoyed great happiness,
you will go forth, possessionless.
Destroying all your defilements,
you’ll reach nirvana, undefiled.”

Having said this, the Sambuddha,
Tissa, Chief Leader of the World,
the Hero, flew into the sky,
just like a swan-king in the air.

Well-given was my superb gift;
well-sacrificed my sacrifice.
Giving that spoonful of begged food,
I’ve attained the unshaking state.

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

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 Kaṭacchubhikkhadāyikā spoke these verses.

The legend of Kaṭacchubhikkhadāyikā Therī is finished.
