[269] On the bank of the river Candabhāgā I was then a forest-roamer;
I saw the Buddha Siddhattha going through the air.
Having raised my joined palms, gazing¹ upon the Great Sage,
having made my own mind (citta) serene with confidence, I bowed in homage² to the Leader of the World.
In the ninety-fourth aeon (kappa) from now — since I then venerated the Bull of Men (narāsabha) —
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of veneration.
The four analytical insights (paṭisambhidā), and also 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 Javahaṃsaka spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Javahaṃsaka is concluded.
¹ Ma. and Yu. editions read "ullokento" ("looking up at").
² Ma. and Yu. editions read "avandiṃ nāyakaṃ ahaṃ" ("I venerated the Leader").
