[322] The bull (usabha), the most excellent, the hero, the great seer (mahesi), the victorious one — Vipassī, the great hero, like a thoroughbred maned lion — as he was walking along the street, the recipient of oblations (āhuti), I took a garland of kumuda flowers (white water-lilies) and strewed it over the supreme Buddha. In the ninety-first eon (kappa) from now, since I made offering with that flower, I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worshipping the Buddha (buddhapūjā). The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha), and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled. Thus indeed the Venerable Elder (thera) Kumudamāliya spoke these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Kumudamāliya is concluded. Summary (uddāna): Ārakkhada, Bhojanada, Gatasaññī, Padumika, Pupphāsani, Santhavika, Saddasaññī, Tiraṃsiya, Nālika, and Kumudī — fifty-seven verses. The Ārakkhadāyaka Chapter, the Thirty-second. ______________ The Thirty-third Chapter: the Ummāpupphiya Chapter First, the Apadāna of the Elder Ummāpupphiya (321)
