[118] I was dwelling at a rājāyatana tree, with ministers and with retinue,
when the Blessed One Sikhī, the Kinsman of the World, had attained final Nibbāna.¹
With a confident mind, glad at heart, I went to the funeral pyre;
having sounded musical instruments there, I strewed perfumes and garlands.
Having performed worship at the pyre, having paid homage to the pyre,
with a confident mind, glad at heart, I returned to my own abode.
Having entered my abode, I recollected that worship of the pyre.
By that deed (kamma), O Lord of the Two-Footed, Eldest of the World, Bull among Men,
having enjoyed prosperity among devas and among human beings,
I have attained the unshakeable state, having left behind victory and defeat.
In the thirty-first aeon (kappa) from this one, since I offered up that flower,
I have known no bad destination: this is the fruit of the worship of the pyre.
In the twenty-ninth aeon from this one, there were sixteen kings,
Uggata by name, wheel-turning monarchs (cakkavattī) of great might.

The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
and the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Elder Citakapūjaka spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Citakapūjaka is concluded.
