[152] At that time I was a kinnarī on the bank of the river Candabhāgā;
then I saw the God of Gods, the Bull of Men, walking in meditation.
Having plucked a salaḷa flower, I gave it to the supreme Buddha;
the Great Hero smelled the salaḷa, which bore a divine fragrance.
Having accepted it, the Fully Awakened One Vipassī, Leader of the World,
the Great Hero, smelled it while I looked on at that time.
Having raised my joined palms and paid homage to the Supreme One among two-footed beings,
having gladdened my own mind (citta) with confidence, I then climbed the mountain.
Ninety-one aeons (kappa) ago from now, when I gave that flower,
I know of no bad destination (duggati) — this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha (buddhapūjā).
My defilements (kilesā) have been burned away; all existences (bhava) have been extirpated;
like a she-elephant (nāgī) that has burst its tether, I dwell without taints (āsava).
Welcome indeed was my coming into the presence of the supreme Buddha;
the three true knowledges (vijjā) have been attained; the Buddha's teaching has been done.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā) and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been done.
Thus indeed the venerable bhikkhunī Salaḷapupphikā spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Therī Salaḷapupphikā is concluded.
The third: the Apadāna of the Therī Modakadāyikā (13)
