[32] Then I was clad in an antelope hide (ajina) and wore a garment of bark fibre;
having filled my carrying-load, I brought jujube fruit to my hermitage.
At that time the Buddha Sikhī was one, without a second;
he came to my hermitage, shedding radiance at all times.
Having made my own mind (citta) serenely confident, and having paid homage to that One of Good Vows (subbata),
lifting up the jujube with both hands, I gave it to the Buddha.
In the thirty-first aeon from this one, because I gave that fruit then,
I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of the gift of jujube.
My defilements (kilesā) have been burned away; all existences (bhava) have been extirpated;
like an elephant that has sundered 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 these eight liberations (vimokkha) as well,
and the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled.
Thus indeed did the Venerable Elder Koladāyaka speak these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Koladāyaka is concluded.
