[56] The Blessed One named Sataraṃsī, self-become (sayambhū), unvanquished, a Fully Awakened One (sambuddha) desiring seclusion, set out for his alms-resort (gocara). Fruit in hand, seeing him, I approached the Bull of Men (narāsabha); with a mind (citta) full of confidence, glad at heart, I gave him an avaṭa fruit. It was in the ninety-fourth aeon (kappa) from now that I then gave that fruit; I know of no bad destination (duggati): this is the fruit of the gift of fruit. My defilements (kilesa) have been burned away, all existences (bhava) utterly uprooted; like an elephant that has sundered its bonds, I dwell without 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), the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled. Thus indeed did the Venerable Avaṭaphaliya Thera speak these verses. The Apadāna of Avaṭaphaliya Thera is concluded. The Seventh: the Apadāna of Labujaphaladāyaka Thera (467)
