[137] Not far from the Himavant is the mountain named Vasabha; at the foot of that mountain a hermitage had been built. Then, as a brahmin, I taught three thousand pupils; having made those pupils recite,¹ I sat down to one side. ¹ Variant readings noted in the Siam ed.: Ma. (Burmese ed.) *saṃharitvāna*; Yu. (European ed.) *saṃsāvetvāna*. Having sat down to one side, the brahmin who had gone to the far shore of the mantras, searching for the guise of a Buddha, made his mind (citta) confident in [the Buddha's] knowledge (ñāṇa). Having made my mind confident therein, I sat down upon a spread of leaves; having folded my legs crosswise, right there I died. In the thirty-first eon from this one I gained that perception (saññā); [since] then I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of the perception of knowledge (ñāṇasaññā). In the twenty-seventh eon there was a king named Sirīdhara, possessed of the seven treasures, a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) of great power. The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha), and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized — the Buddha's teaching has been done. Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Rahosaññika speak these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Rahosaññika is concluded. Sixth: the Apadāna of the Elder Campakapupphiya (136)
