[270] At that time I was a kinnara on the bank of the river Candabhāgā; I saw the Buddha Vipassī, enveloped in a net of rays. With a confident mind (citta), glad at heart, and with supreme rapture (pīti), holding up a salaḷa flower, I strewed it over Vipassī. In the ninety-first eon from now, since I offered that flower in worship, I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha. The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha), the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled. Thus indeed the Venerable Salaḷapupphiya Thera spoke these verses. The Apadāna of Salaḷapupphiya Thera is concluded. The Ninth: the Apadāna of Upāgatahāsaniya Thera (269)
