[148]
I made a terrace at the Bodhi tree of the Sage (muni) Anomadassī;
having given a lump of plaster, I did the work with my own hands.
Having seen that well-done deed, Anomadassī, supreme among men,
the Teacher, standing amid the Saṅgha of bhikkhus, spoke this verse:
"Through this work with plaster and through his volition and aspirations,
having enjoyed prosperity, he will make an end of suffering (dukkha)."
I am serene of countenance, one-pointed, well concentrated;
I bear my final body in the dispensation of the Fully Self-Enlightened One (Sammāsambuddha).
In the hundredth aeon (kappa) from now I was a king named Sampassana,
a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) of great power, complete and lacking in nothing.
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 fulfilled.
It was thus that the Venerable Anulomadāyaka the Elder spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Anulomadāyaka is concluded.
[Siam edition variant notes: (1) for "paripuṇṇo anūnako," the Burmese and European editions read "paripuṇṇe anūnake"; (2) for "Sampassano nāma," they read "Sabbagghano nāma."]
