[202] The Victor (jina) named Padumuttara, the recipient of oblations, having come forth from the great forest, the One with Vision was going to the monastery. Holding up with both hands a supreme yūthikā (jasmine) flower, I offered it up to the Buddha, the steadfast one (tādī) whose mind (citta) was full of loving-kindness (mettā). Through that confidence of mind (cittappasāda), having enjoyed attainments, for a hundred thousand aeons (kappa) I did not arise in a bad destination (duggati). Fifty aeons from now there was one lord of the people, named Samitanandana, a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) of great might.¹ 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. Thus indeed the Venerable Yūthikapupphiya, the Elder, spoke these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Yūthikapupphiya is concluded. ¹ The Po. and M. editions read "āsiṃ" ("I was"). Summary (uddāna): Tamāli, Tiṇasanthāra, Khaṇḍaphulli, Asokiya, Aṅkolaka, Kisalaya, Tinduka, Nelapupphiya, Tikaṇḍika, and Yūthika — and the verses are fifty-eight. The Tamālapupphiya Chapter, the Twentieth. Now the summary of the chapters: Bhikkhadāyi, Parivāra, Sereyya, and likewise Sobhita, Chatta and Bandhujīvi, and also Supāricariya, Kumuda and Kuṭaja, with Tamāli made the tenth: six hundred verses, and sixty-six above that. The decade of the Bhikkha Chapters, the second hundred, is concluded. The Kaṇikārapupphiya Chapter, the Twenty-first First: The Apadāna of the Elder Kaṇikārapupphiya (201)
