[113] The Blessed One named Vipassī, the Eldest of the World, the Bull of Men,
together with sixty-eight thousand [bhikkhus], then entered Bandhuma.
Going out from the city, I went to the Dīpacetiya;
I saw the stainless Buddha, the Receiver of Oblations.
Eighty-four thousand yakkhas attend upon me with respect in my presence,
as the hosts of the Thirty attend upon Inda.
Going out from my dwelling, then, holding a cloth aloft,
I paid homage with my head, and gave it to the Great Seer.
Oh, the Buddha! Oh, the Dhamma! Oh, the accomplishment of our Teacher!
Through the Buddha's power this earth quaked.
And having seen that marvel, astonishing and hair-raising,
I make my mind (citta) confident in the Buddha, the Lord of the Two-Footed (dipadinda), the Steadfast One (tādī).
Having made my mind confident and given the cloth to the Teacher,
I went to him for refuge, together with my ministers and my retinue.
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from this one, that deed which I did then —
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of honoring the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
In the fifteenth aeon from this one, there were sixteen named Vāhana,
wheel-turning monarchs (cakkavattī) of great might, endowed with the seven treasures.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā), have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been carried out.
Thus indeed the Venerable Elder Mahāparivāra spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Mahāparivāra is concluded.
The second: the Apadāna of the Elder Sumaṅgala (112)
