[125] The Sambuddha, of golden hue, bearing the thirty-two excellent marks,
come forth from the great forest, at the head of the Saṅgha of bhikkhus —
Having with my own hand served up milk-rice (pāyāsa) in a bronze dish,
desiring to offer an oblation (āhuti), I myself went to him at the silk-cotton grove (sambali).
At that time the Blessed One, the Eldest of the world, the Bull among men,
had well ascended upon a walking-path in the sky, on the pathway of the winds.
Having seen that marvel, astonishing and hair-raising,
I set down the bronze dish and paid homage to Vipassī:
"You are the Buddha, the Omniscient One, in [the world] with its devas and its humans;
out of compassion, accept it, O Great Sage."
The Blessed One accepted it — the Omniscient One, the Leader of the World,
the Teacher unsurpassed in the world — knowing my intention.
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from now was the gift I gave then;
I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of the milk-rice.
In the forty-first aeon from now there was a khattiya named Buddha,
a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, 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 done.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Pāyāsadāyaka speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Pāyāsadāyaka is concluded.
The fourth: the Apadāna of the Elder Gandhodakiya (124)
