[142] At that time I was a trapper, an extreme oppressor of other creatures;
I made my bed at a mountain overhang, not far from the Teacher Sikhī.
Evening and morning I saw the Buddha, the supreme Leader of the world,
yet I had no gift to offer (deyyadhamma) to the Lord of Bipeds, the Stable One (tādī).
Taking a piyāla fruit, I went into the presence of the Buddha;
the Blessed One, the Eldest of the world, the Bull among men, accepted it.
Thereafter, having taken [fruit], I presented it in invitation to that Guide (vināyaka);
with that confidence of mind (citta), I passed away right there.
In the thirty-first aeon (kappa) from now, when I gave that fruit,
I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of the gift of fruit.
In the fifteenth aeon from now there were three [kings] named Mālabhi,
wheel-turning monarchs (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great might.
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 Phaladāyaka speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Phaladāyaka is concluded.
Summary (Uddāna)
