[193] Eighty-four thousand were its pillars of gold; my mansion (vimāna), well-fashioned, was the counterpart of a deva's staff (devalaṭṭhi). Taking up a tamāla flower, with a serene mind I offered it to the Buddha Sikhī, the Kinsman of the World (lokabandhu). In the thirty-first eon (kappa) from now, that deed which I then performed — I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha. In the twentieth eon from now there was one alone, Candatitta by name, a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) of great might, endowed with the seven treasures. The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha), and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled. [Edition footnotes: ¹ M. and Yu. read "ekajo" (for "ekako"). ² M. reads "dvāsaṭṭhī kittitā ti"; Yu. "bāsaṭṭhī."] Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Tamālapupphiya speak these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Tamālapupphiya is concluded. Second: The Apadāna of the Elder Tiṇasanthāradāyaka (192)
