[260] On the mountain Himavant I was a wearer of bark-fiber garments;
I fed on unsalted leaves, and I was restrained in my observances.
When the time for the morning meal had come, Siddhattha approached me;
full of confidence, I gave it to the Buddha with my own hands.
In the ninety-fourth aeon (kappa) from now, since I then gave that leaf,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of the gift of leaves.
In the twenty-seventh aeon I was the king Yadatthiya,
a universal monarch (cakkavatti) of great might, endowed with the seven treasures.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), these eight liberations (vimokkha),
and the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Elder Paṇṇadāyaka spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Paṇṇadāyaka is concluded.
