Raising my joined palms in reverence, I led him [1] to my own home;
and having led [2] the Fully Enlightened One (sambuddha) there, I gave him supreme food (paramanna).
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from now I then gave that supreme food;
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of supreme food.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.

Here ends the Apadāna of the Elder Paramannadāyaka.
