[11] Having seen the pāṭali, the supreme Bodhi tree of the Blessed One Vipassī —
the moment I saw that foremost of trees, I made my mind (citta) serene there.
Taking a broom, I swept the Bodhi tree at that very moment;
and having swept that Bodhi tree, I venerated the pāṭali.
Having made my mind serene there, placing my joined palms upon my head,
revering that Bodhi tree, I went back to my hut.
I was going along the pathway, recollecting the supreme Bodhi tree,
when a python, dreadful in form and of great strength, crushed me.
The deed I had done when (death) was so near gladdened me with its fruit:
even as it swallowed my body, I was delighting in the deva world (devaloka).
My mind is unclouded, pure, ever bright;
I know no dart of sorrow that torments my mind.
Leprosy, boils, eczema, epilepsy, scabies,
ringworm, and itch are not found in me: this is the fruit of sweeping.
Sorrow and burning are not found in my heart;
my mind is unwavering and upright: this is the fruit of sweeping.
I attain concentration (samādhi) again; my mind is purified;
whatever concentration I wish for, that very one succeeds for me.
I am not inflamed by things that incite lust, nor (angered) among things that provoke hatred;
I am not deluded by things that breed delusion: this is the fruit of sweeping.
Ninety-one aeons ago from now, the deed that I did then —
(because of it) I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of sweeping.
My defilements (kilesa) have been burned away; all existences (bhava) have been uprooted;
like an elephant that has burst its bonds, I dwell free of 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 fulfilled.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
and the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Sakiṃsammajjaka Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Sakiṃsammajjaka is concluded.
The second: the Apadāna of the Elder Ekadussadāyaka (422)
