[93] For one who honors those worthy of honor (pūjāraha) —
whether Buddhas or disciples —
who have transcended proliferation (papañca),
who have crossed over sorrow and lamentation (soka, parideva);
for one who honors such ones as these,
quenched (nibbuta), with no fear from any quarter,
the merit (puñña) cannot be reckoned by anyone,
saying, "It is just this much."
Though one here should exercise lordship
over even the four continents,
that is not worth a sixteenth part
of this act of honoring.
At the shrine (cetiya) of Siddhattha, the foremost of men,
in the space between the bricks,
a lump of plaster (sudhāpiṇḍa) was given by me
with a mind full of confidence.
In the ninety-fourth aeon (kappa) from now
was that deed (kamma) I then performed;
I know of no bad destination (duggati) —
this is the fruit of the repair-work (paṭisaṅkhāra).
In the thirtieth aeon from now
there were thirteen wheel-turning monarchs (cakkavatti)
bearing the name Paṭisaṅkhāra,
endowed with the seven treasures.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā),
and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized;
the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Sudhāpiṇḍiya the Elder speak these verses.
The Apadāna of Sudhāpiṇḍiya the Elder is concluded.
The second: the Apadāna of Supīṭhiya the Elder (92)
