[156] While I was a young deva (devaputta), I worshipped Sikhī, the Leader;
holding aloft a kakkāru flower, I offered it up to the Buddha.
#1 Yu.: "pannarase va tadāhu." [variant reading in the Siam Raṭṭha apparatus]
In the thirty-first aeon (kappa) from now, since I offered up that flower,
I have known no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
And in the ninth aeon from now there was a king, Sattuttama,
a universal monarch (cakkavatti) of great might, endowed with the seven treasures.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been done.
Thus indeed the Venerable Kakkārupūjaka Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Kakkārupūjaka Thera is concluded.
