[362] Now on that occasion the lay follower (upāsaka) Candanaṅgalika was seated in that assembly.
Then the lay follower Candanaṅgalika rose from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, and, extending his joined palms in reverential salutation toward the Blessed One, said this to the Blessed One: "An inspiration has come to me, Blessed One! An inspiration has come to me, Fortunate One (Sugata)!"
"Then let your inspiration come forth, Candanaṅgalika," said the Blessed One.
Then the lay follower Candanaṅgalika, in the presence of the Blessed One, extolled the Blessed One with a verse fitting to the occasion:
"Just as the fragrant red lotus Kokanada
would bloom in the morning, its fragrance unfaded,
behold Aṅgīrasa, shining resplendent,
blazing like the sun in the sky."
