[71] There was a Blessed One named Tissa, the Self-Arisen One (sayambhū), the Leader of the World;
setting aside his rag-robe (paṃsukūla), the Victor (jina) entered his dwelling.
Taking up my strung bow, with [a flask of] water stowed,
and grasping a curved sword, I entered the forest.
There I then saw a rag-robe caught upon a treetop;
laying down my bow right there, I placed my joined palms upon my head.
With a mind (citta) full of confidence, glad, and with abundant rapture (pīti),
recollecting the supreme Buddha, I paid homage to the rag-robe.
In the ninety-second aeon from this one, that I paid homage to the rag-robe—
I know of no bad destination: this is the fruit of homage.
My defilements (kilesa) have been burned away; all existences have been extirpated;
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 done.
The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā), and these eight liberations (vimokkha) too,
the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized; the Buddha's teaching has been done.
Thus indeed the Venerable Paṃsukūlasaññaka the Elder spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Paṃsukūlasaññaka the Elder is concluded.
