[22] There was a festival of the Great Bodhi tree of the Blessed One Vipassī;
a great multitude, gathering together, worshipped the supreme Bodhi.
Free from great sorrow, wise, he will be the most excellent of Buddhas —
the Teacher to whom belongs such a Bodhi tree as this, truly worthy of worship.
Then, taking a conch, I attended upon the Bodhi tree;
blowing it the whole day long, I venerated the supreme Bodhi.
That deed, done near [the time of death], brought me to the heavenly world (devaloka);
my corpse fell away, and I delighted in the heavenly world.
Sixty thousand musical instruments, glad, elated, and rejoicing,
attend upon me always: this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha.
In the seventy-first aeon [from now] I was the king Sudassana,
lord of the four quarters, victorious, sovereign of Jambudīpa.
Then eight hundred instruments surround me always;
I experience my own deed: this is the fruit of attendance (upaṭṭhāna).
Into whatever womb I am reborn — the state of a deva or of a human —
even while I am in my mother's womb, drums sound for me always.
Having attended upon the Fully Awakened One, having enjoyed attainments,
I have reached the blissful, stainless, deathless, unshakable state.
Whatever deed I did then, ninety-one aeons from now —
by reason of it I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of worship of the Buddha.
My defilements have been burned away; all existences have been extirpated;
like an elephant that has burst 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 fulfilled.
The four analytical knowledges (paṭisambhidā), and also these eight liberations (vimokkha),
the six superknowledges (abhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed the Venerable Ekasaṅkhiya Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Ekasaṅkhiya Thera is concluded.
The Third: the Apadāna of Pāṭihirasaññaka Thera (433)
