[323] I saw¹ the supreme among men, Siddhattha, the unvanquished —
composed, entered upon attainment, seated in concentration (samādhi).
Taking a flax flower (ummāpuppha), I offered it in worship² to the Buddha;
all the flowers, their heads as one, stalks upward, faces turned down.
As though endowed with good minds, the spreads of flowers stood in the sky;
by that confidence of mind (cittappasāda) I was reborn in Tusita.
In the ninety-fourth aeon from now, since I offered that flower in worship,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha.
In the fifty-fifth aeon from now there was one lord of the earth,
Samantachadana by name, a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) of great might.
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 Ummāpupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Ummāpupphiya Thera is concluded.
