[383] The Blessed One named Sataraṃsī, the Self-Arisen (sayambhū), the Unconquered,
the Fully Awakened One, desiring seclusion, set out on his alms-round.
Fruit in hand, seeing him, I approached the Bull of Men (narāsabha);
with a mind (citta) full of confidence, glad at heart, I gave him an ambaṭa fruit.¹
In the ninety-fourth aeon from now, since I gave that fruit,
I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of the gift of fruit.
Welcome indeed was my coming into the presence of my Buddha;
the three true knowledges (vijjā) have been attained; the Buddha's teaching has been done.
My defilements (kilesa) have been burned away; all existences (bhava) have been rooted out;
like an elephant that has severed its bond, I dwell free of taints (āsava).
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) as well,
the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been done.
