[92] Having entered a lotus grove, as I was breaking lotuses,
I saw¹ Phussa, the Fully Enlightened One (sambuddha), bearing the thirty-two excellent marks.
Taking a lotus flower, I tossed it up into the air;
and recollecting that evil deed (pāpakamma), I went forth into homelessness (anagāriya).
Having gone forth, restrained in body and in mind,
having abandoned misconduct by speech (vacīduccarita), I purified my livelihood.
In the ninety-second aeon (kappa) from now, since I offered up that flower,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
Eighteen lords of the earth, all bearing the very name Padumabhāsa²—
in eighteen aeons there were forty-eight.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been done.
Thus indeed the Venerable Elder Padumapupphiya spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Padumapupphiya is concluded.
Summary (uddāna):
