[49]
To Siddhattha, the Blessed One, whose mind was full of loving-kindness (mettacitta), the steadfast one (tādī),
I gave the foremost of beds, spread with goods of cloth².
The Blessed One accepted the allowable (kappiya) bed and seat;
rising from that bed, the Victor (jina) ascended into the sky.
It was in the ninety-fourth aeon from now that I gave that bed;
I know of no bad destination (duggati) — this is the fruit of the bed[-gift].

In the fifty-first aeon from now there was one named Varuṇadeva¹,
a universal monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great power.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) as well,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Sayanadāyaka speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Sayanadāyaka is concluded.
The Eighth: the Apadāna of the Elder Caṅkamadāyaka (48)
