[207] I was a monastery attendant (ārāmika) of the Blessed One Vipassī; holding aloft a nigguṇḍi flower, I offered it up to the Buddha. In the ninety-first aeon from now, since I offered that flower, I know of no bad destination (duggati) — this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā). In the thirty-fifth aeon from now I was one lord of the people, Mahāpatāpa by name, a universal monarch (cakkavatti) of great might. 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 Elder Nigguṇḍipupphiya spoke these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Nigguṇḍipupphiya is concluded. Sixth: the Apadāna of the Elder Udakadāyaka [206]
