[192] Gathering together, all of us brooded censoriously over the Elder Abhibhū;¹ ²
in us who were brooding thus, a burning distress (pariḷāha) arose.
Then a disciple of the Buddha, of the sage Dhammadassī —
Sunanda by name — came into my presence.
Those who were my attendants then gave me a flower;
taking that flower, I offered it in homage upon the disciple.
Having died there, I was reborn once more;
for eighteen hundred aeons (kappa) I did not go to a state of woe (vinipāta).
In the thirteen-hundredth aeon from now there were eight named Dhūmaketu,
universal monarchs (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great might.
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 Tivaṇṭipupphiya speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Tivaṇṭipupphiya is concluded.
