[159] Not far from Himavanta there is the mountain named Bhūtagaṇa;
there dwelt a Victor (jina), alone — self-become (sayambhū), one escaped from the world.
Taking tiṇasūla jasmine flowers, I offered them to the Buddha;
for one hundred thousand eons (kappa) less one, I did not fall to a state of woe (vinipāta).
Eleven eons from now, I was one, Dharaṇīruha by name,
a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great might.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Elder (thera) Tiṇasūlaka spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Tiṇasūlaka is concluded.
The Eighth: the Apadāna of the Elder Nāgapupphiya (158)
