[104] On the bank of the river Vinatā¹ dwelt the supreme among men;
I saw the stainless Buddha, one-pointed, well concentrated.
Then, with a flower of the honey-scented ketaka,
with a mind (citta) full of confidence, joyful, I made offering to the best of Buddhas.
The flower with which I made offering in the ninety-first aeon from the present —
I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of the offering to the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
My defilements (kilesa) have been burned up; all existences (bhava) have been rooted out;
like an elephant that has burst its bonds, I dwell without taints (āsava).
Welcome indeed was my coming into the presence of my Buddha;
the three true knowledges (vijjā) have been attained; the Buddha's teaching (sāsana) has been fulfilled.
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.
It was thus that the Venerable Elder Ketakapupphiya spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Ketakapupphiya is concluded.
The Apadāna of the Elder Nāgapupphiya, the fifth (515)
