[214] To the forest-dweller, the meditator,
the ascetic with a mind of loving-kindness,¹
to the righteous one,² of developed self,
I gave footwear (pānadhi).
#¹ Ma. (Burmese ed.) and Yu. (European ed.) read: *araññikassa isino cirarattatapassino* ["to the forest-dwelling seer, long practicing austerity"]. ² Ma.: *vuddhassa* ["the aged one"]; Yu.: *vaddhassa*.
By that deed, O Lord of the two-footed (dipadinda),
Eldest of the world (lokajeṭṭha), Bull among men (narāsabha),
I enjoy a divine vehicle:
this is the fruit of the former deed.
In the ninety-fourth aeon (kappa) from the present —
the deed that I did then:
I know of no bad destination (duggati);
this is the fruit of the footwear.
In the seventy-seventh aeon from the present
there were eight khattiyas (warrior-nobles),
Suyāna by name,
universal monarchs (cakkavatti) of great might.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā),
and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized;
the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Pānadhidāyaka speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Pānadhidāyaka is concluded.
