[95] To the Fully Enlightened One (Sambuddha), golden-hued,   the recipient of oblations (āhuti), as he was proceeding along the street,   I gave a cāra fruit (cāraphala). In the ninety-first eon from now,   the fruit that I gave 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 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 fulfilled. The four analytic insights (paṭisambhidā),   and these eight liberations (vimokkha), the six superknowledges (chaḷabhiññā) have been realized;   the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled. Thus indeed the Venerable Elder Cāraphaliya¹ spoke these verses. The Apadāna of the Elder Cāraphaliya is concluded. ¹ [Variant readings: the Burmese edition reads "the Elder Pādaphaliya…"; the European edition reads "the Elder Pāraphaliya…".] The Sixth: The Apadāna of the Elder Mātuluṅgaphaladāyaka ("the Giver of a Citron Fruit") (506)
