Recognizing the voice of Sikhī, the best of Buddhas, the steadfast one (tādī),
I took flowers of many kinds and scattered them in the sky.
By that deed, O lord of the two-footed, eldest of the world, bull of men,
I have attained the unshakable state, having left behind victory and defeat.

a universal monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great might.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
