[138] [I saw the Buddha,] shining like a kaṇikāra tree,
seated between the mountains,
lighting up all the directions
like the morning star (osadhī).
There were three young brahmins (māṇavaka),
well trained in their own craft;
taking up the carrying-pole load (khāribhāra),
they followed behind me.
Seven flowers had been placed
in a packet by me, an ascetic (tapassin);
taking them, I offered them
at the knowledge (ñāṇa) of Vessabhū.
In the thirty-first aeon (kappa) from now,
since I offered that flower,
I have known no bad destination (duggati):
this is the fruit of the veneration of knowledge (ñāṇapūjā).
In the twenty-ninth aeon
there was one named Vihatābhāsa,
a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) of great might,
endowed with the seven treasures.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā),
and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized;
the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Elder (thera) Campakapupphiya spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Campakapupphiya is concluded.
Seventh: the Apadāna of the Elder Atthasandassaka (137)
