[81] Formerly I was a deer-hunter[1] in the forest, in the woodland;
there I saw the Fully Enlightened One (Sambuddha), bearing the thirty-two excellent marks.
There, having made the reverential salutation with joined palms (añjali), I departed facing east;
and as I sat not far away upon a spread of leaves that had been laid ready,
then at that moment a thunderbolt fell upon my head;
and I, at the time of death, made the añjali once again.
It was in the ninety-second aeon (kappa) from the present that I made that añjali;
I know of no bad destination (duggati) — this is the fruit of the añjali.
In the fifty-fourth aeon there was one named Migaketu,
a universal monarch (cakkavatti) endowed with the seven treasures, of great might.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder (thera) Ṭhitañjaliya speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Ṭhitañjaliya is concluded.
