[367] The Fully Awakened One (sambuddha) named Paduma dwelt then on Mount Cittakūṭa;
having seen that Buddha, the Self-Arisen One (sayambhū), I approached him.¹
Having seen an aṅkola tree in flower, I gathered [its blossoms] then;
having approached the Fully Awakened One, I worshipped Paduma, the Victor (jina).
Since I did that deed (kamma)² in the thirty-first aeon (kappa) from this one,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
#¹ The Burmese edition reads: aparājitaṃ ("the Unconquered One"). ² The Burmese and European editions read: … pupphamabhipūjayiṃ ("… the flower that I offered in worship").
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) as well,
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Aṅkolapupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Aṅkolapupphiya Thera is concluded.
