[209] Shining like a kaṇikāra tree, seated between the mountains,
illuminating all the directions — [I saw] Siddhattha, the charioteer of men.
Making my bow unerring,² I then fitted³ an arrow;
having cut off a flower together with its stalk, I offered it up to the Buddha.
In the ninety-fourth aeon from this one, since I offered up that flower,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
In the fifty-first aeon from this one there was one, Jutindhara,
a wheel-turning monarch (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 (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Salaḷamāliya speak these verses.
