[302] While he was walking for alms I saw Vipassī, the Victor (jina);
I gave¹ a ladleful of alms-food to the Lord of Bipeds (dipadinda), the Steadfast One (tādī).
With a mind (citta) full of confidence, glad at heart, I then paid homage;
I proclaimed the Buddha aloud, for the attainment of the supreme goal.
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from now I made that proclamation;
I know of no bad destination (duggati) — this is the fruit of proclaiming.
The four analytic 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 Anusaṃsāvaka, the Elder, spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Anusaṃsāvaka is concluded.
Summary (uddāna)
The pyre (citaka) and the coral tree (pārichatta), the sound (sadda), the strewing of ox-head sandalwood (gosīsasanthara),
the footprint (pada), the region (padesa), the refuge (saraṇa), the mango (amba), and the proclaimer (saṃsāvaka) as well —
forty-seven verses² have been counted by the discerning.
The Citakapūjaka Chapter, the Thirtieth.
¹ Ma. and Yu. read pādāsiṃ ["presented"]. ² Ma. reads aṭṭhatāḷīsagāthāyo ["forty-eight verses"].
Now the summary of chapters (vagga-uddāna):
The kaṇikāra flower (kaṇikāra), the giver of an elephant (hatthidada), the support (ālambana) and the water-seat (udakāsana),
the tuvara (tuvara) and the praiser (thomaka), the tossing up (ukkhepa), the head-pillow (sīsupadhāna),
the giver of leaves (paṇṇada) and the worshipper of the pyre (citapūjī); and the verses altogether:
four hundred here, and exactly fifty-one.
Twenty-five hundreds in all, with seventy-two over and above that,
and thirty¹ hundreds of lines (pada) have been counted by those who see the meaning.
The Third Hundred is concluded.
