[175] Formerly I was a deer-hunter, in the forest, in the woodland;
I saw Vipassī, the Buddha, the god of gods (devadeva), the bull among men (narāsabha).
Seeing a kuṭaja tree, sprung from the earth, that had flowered by night,
I took it up together with its root and presented it to the Great Seer (mahesi).
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from now, the flower that I offered then —
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of the gift of a flower.
And in the eighth aeon from now there was one named Suppasanna,
a universal monarch (cakkavatti) of great power, endowed with the seven treasures.
The four analytical insights (paṭisambhidā), the eight liberations (vimokkha) likewise,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Rattiyapupphiya the Elder spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Rattiyapupphiya is concluded.
