[236] In the delightful city of Tivarā I was then a basket-maker (naḷakāra);
the populace there had confidence in Siddhattha, the Light of the World (lokapajjota).
For the purpose of worshipping the Lord of the World (lokanātha), the populace went seeking a reed mat (kilañja);
to those performing worship of the Buddha I gave¹ a reed mat.
In the ninety-fourth aeon (kappa) from now, the deed (kamma) that I did then —
I know of no bad destination (duggati); this is the fruit of the reed mat.
In the seventy-seventh aeon there was a king, Jalandhara,²
a universal monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great power.
¹ M. (Burmese edition): adadiṃ. ² Yu. (European edition): Jutindharo, i.e., the king's name as "Jutindhara."
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Kilañjadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Kilañjadāyaka Thera is concluded.
