[324] Gleaming like a kakudha tree, like a noble thoroughbred bull,
shining like the morning star — the radiant Bull of Men (narāsabha) —
raising my joined palms (añjali), I bowed in homage to the Teacher;
I extolled the Teacher and gladdened him by my own deed.
Taking up perfectly pure sand, I strewed it on the path he had traveled,
carrying it in the fold of my garment — the path of Vipassī, the Great Seer (mahesi).
Then, with a mind full of confidence, I sprinkled half of the sand
at the daytime dwelling-place of the Lord of Bipeds (dipadinda), the Steadfast One (tādī).
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from the present, since I sprinkled that sand,
I know of no bad destination (duggati) — this is the fruit of the sand.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha),
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Puḷinapūjaka speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Puḷinapūjaka is concluded.
