[370] And the Self-Awakened One (sambuddha), at peace, was dwelling between the mountains; taking a single campaka flower, I approached the supreme among men. With a mind (citta) full of confidence, joyful, raising it up with both hands, I venerated the supreme solitary sage (paccekamuni), the unvanquished one. In the thirty-first aeon (kappa) from now, since I made offering with that flower, I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of the worship of a Buddha (buddhapūjā). The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) as well, and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled. It was thus that the Venerable Elder Ekacampakapupphiya spoke these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Ekacampakapupphiya is concluded. Ninth: the Apadāna of the Elder Timirapupphiya (369) [Siam Raṭṭha apparatus (page-foot variants): ¹ M. reads "anomo nāma"; Yu. "anātho" (anchor falls in the preceding portion of the text). ² Yu. reads "va" for "ca". ³ M. reads "pañcasaṭṭhimhito kappe" — "in the sixty-fifth aeon from now."]
