[105] The Fully Enlightened One (sambuddha), golden-hued, the recipient of oblations (āhuti), proceeding along the street — I honored him with a nāga flower (nāgapuppha). In the ninety-first aeon from the present, since I paid homage with that flower, I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of homage to the Buddha. My defilements (kilesa) have been burned away; all existences (bhava) have been rooted out; like an elephant that has broken its bonds, I dwell free from 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 has been done. The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) as well, the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been done. Thus indeed the Venerable Nāgapupphiya Thera spoke these verses. The Apadāna of Nāgapupphiya Thera is concluded. Sixth: The Apadāna of Ajjunapupphiya Thera (516)
