[335] I, a hunter, having plunged into the woodland forest, dwelt there; having seen a punnāga tree in bloom, I recollected the supreme Buddha. Having gathered that flower — sweet-smelling, fragrant, and beautiful — I made a stūpa (thūpa) upon the sand and offered it up to the Buddha. In the ninety-second 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 (buddhapūjā). In the ninety-first aeon from now there was one named Tamonuda, a universal monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great power. 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 done. Thus indeed the Venerable Punnāgapupphiya Thera spoke these verses. The Apadāna of Punnāgapupphiya Thera is concluded. The fourth: the Apadāna of Ekadussadāyaka Thera (334).
