[90] Formerly I was a hunter of deer; wandering then in the wilderness,¹
I saw the stainless Buddha, gone to the far shore of all dhammas.
Taking a piyāla fruit, full of confidence I gave it with my own hands
to the supreme Buddha, the hero, the field of merit (puññakkhetta).
In the thirty-first eon from now, since I gave that fruit then,
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) have been uprooted;
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 (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.

It was thus indeed that the Venerable Piyālaphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The Apadāna of Piyālaphaladāyaka Thera is concluded.
