[93] Shining like a kaṇikāra tree, seated in a mountain cleft, I saw the stainless Buddha, the eldest of the world, the bull of men. With a mind full of confidence, joyful, raising my joined palms upon my head, I took a kāsumārika fruit and gave it to the supreme Buddha. In the thirty-first aeon from now — the fruit that I gave then: I know of no bad destination; 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 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 the Venerable Kāsumārikaphaladāyaka Thera spoke these verses. The Apadāna of Kāsumārikaphaladāyaka Thera is concluded. The Apadāna of Avaṭaphaliya Thera, the fourth (504).
