[183]
[I beheld] the Sambuddha, golden-hued, supreme like the hundred-rayed sun,
surveying the directions, going along the pathway of the wind.
Seeing a kuṭaja in bloom, spread wide and covered all over [with blossoms],
I plucked [flowers] from the tree and offered them up to Phussa.
Because in the ninety-second aeon from now I offered that flower,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
In the seventeenth aeon from now there were three named Pupphita,
wheel-turning monarchs (cakkavattī) endowed with the seven treasures, of great might.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā) and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Kuṭajapupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Kuṭajapupphiya Thera is concluded.
