[204] The Blessed One, golden-hued, hundred-rayed, supreme in radiance,
had ascended the walking-meditation path — Sikhī, his mind (citta) filled with loving-kindness (mettā), mindful (sato).
With a confident mind, glad at heart, having extolled his supreme knowledge (ñāṇa),
I took up a minela flower and offered it to the Buddha.
#1 Ma. (Burmese ed.): "Aruṇapālī" ti. 2 Yu. (European ed.): "vinela-…". 3 Ma., Yu.: "patāpavā". 4 Yu.: "sikhī sito".
#5 Ma., Yu.: "vanditvā".
In the thirty-first eon from now, because I made that offering of a flower,
I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of the offering to the Buddha.
In the twenty-ninth eon there was one named Sumeghaghana,
a universal monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great might.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Elder Minelapupphiya spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Minelapupphiya is concluded.
Third: the Apadāna of the Elder Kiṅkaṇikapupphiya (203)
