[83] Going downstream along the bank of the river Candabhāgā, I saw an ascetic (samaṇa) seated there, serene and unclouded.
I made my mind (citta) confident in him, and then I thought thus: "Crossed over himself, this one will bring [others] across; tamed himself, this one will tame [others];
comforted himself, he will give comfort; at peace himself, he will bring [others] to peace; freed himself, he will set [others] free; quenched himself, he will bring [others] to quenching."
Having thought thus, I then took a timira flower and strewed it upon the head of Siddhattha, the great seer (mahesi).
Raising my joined palms (añjali) and making rightward circumambulation (padakkhiṇa) of him, I venerated the Teacher's feet and departed towards another quarter.
When I had gone but a little way, the king of beasts attacked me; as I went along a precipice, I fell right there.
In the ninety-fourth aeon from now I offered that flower; [since then] I have known no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
In the fifty-sixth aeon there were seven of great worth, wheel-turning monarchs (cakkavattī) endowed with the seven treasures, of great power.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha), and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Timirapupphiya Thera speak these verses.
The Apadāna of Timirapupphiya Thera is concluded.
Second: the Apadāna of Gatasaññaka Thera (82)
