[210] Having seen the trodden footprint of Vipassī, the great seer (mahesi), adorned with the ornament of the wheel, I went along following it, footstep after footstep. Having seen a koraṇḍa in bloom, I offered it together with its root; joyful, with a joyful mind (citta), I paid homage to the supreme footprint. In the ninety-first aeon from now, since I offered that flower, I have known no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of the offering to the Buddha (buddhapūjā).¹ In the fifty-seventh aeon there was one named Vītamala, a universal 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 (sāsana) has been fulfilled. Thus indeed the Venerable Elder Koraṇḍapupphiya spoke these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Koraṇḍapupphiya is concluded. ¹ Yu [European/PTS edition]: padapūjāyidaṃ phalaṃ — "this is the fruit of the offering to the footprint." The Ninth: the Apadāna of the Elder Ādhāradāyaka (209)
