[363] Having come here from Tāvatiṃsa, a youth named Maṅgala, I took a mandārava flower and held it above the head of Vipassī, the great seer (mahesi), as he sat in concentration (samādhi); having held it for seven days, I returned again to the world of the devas (devaloka). In the ninety-first aeon from now, since I worshipped that Buddha, I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha. The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha), and the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized: the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled. Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Mandāraviya speak these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Mandāraviya is concluded. The Apadāna of the Elder Kakkārupupphiya, the Second (362)
