[82] Not far from the Himavant
there is a mountain named Udabbala;¹
there I saw a rag-robe (paṃsukūla)
hanging upon a treetop.
Then, having gathered
three kiṅkaṇi flowers,
glad, with a gladdened mind (citta),
I honored the rag-robe.
By that deed (kamma) well done,
and by volitional resolves (cetanā-paṇidhi),
having abandoned the human body,
I went to Tāvatiṃsa.
In the ninety-first aeon (kappa) from now,
when I did that deed,
I know of no bad destination (duggati)—
having honored the banner of the Arahants (arahaddhaja).
My defilements (kilesa) have been burned up;
all existences (bhava) have been extirpated;
like an elephant that has burst 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 (sāsana) 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 Elder Paṃsukūlapūjaka spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of the Elder Paṃsukūlapūjaka is concluded.
