[286] Then I was a goblin (pisāca) at the southern gate; I saw the stainless Buddha, like the sun with its golden rays. To Vipassī, the foremost of men, the seeker of the welfare of all the world, a single flower was given by me — to the Lord of the two-footed (dipadinda), the steadfast one (tādī). In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from now, since I gave that flower then, I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of homage to the Buddha (buddhapūjā). [Siam edition variant notes: ¹ Burmese ed.: "paccuggamane idaṃ phalaṃ." ² Variant: "sattatiṃse" ("in the thirty-seventh"). ³ Burmese and European eds.: "saparivāro ti."] 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 did the Venerable Elder Ekapupphiya speak these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Ekapupphiya is concluded. Fifth: The Apadāna of the Elder Maghavapupphiya (285)
