[172] There was a Blessed One, Tissa by name, the protector of the world, the bull among men; [I beheld] the sage, skilled in [meditative] dwelling, entering the Perfumed Hut (gandhakuṭī).
Taking fragrant garlands, I went into the presence of the Conqueror (jina); and though of little faith in the Fully Enlightened One, I gave the five-finger mark (pañcaṅgulī) [of scent].
In the ninety-second aeon from now, since I offered up that scent, I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of the five-finger mark.
In the seventy-second aeon from now I was the king Sayampaka, a universal monarch (cakkavatti) of great might, endowed with the seven treasures.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) as well, and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized: the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Pañcaṅguliya utter these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Pañcaṅguliya is concluded.
Summary (uddāna):
Supācari and Kaṇaverī, Khajjaka, Desapūjaka,
