[39. Dhammacakkika1]

On the front of the lion-throne
of Siddhattha, the Blessed One,
a Dhamma-wheel2 was placed by me,
well-fashioned, [and] praised by the wise.3 (1) [1104]

I shine, a charming gold color;4
have vehicles, army and mounts.
Many people attached [to me]
are waiting on me, constantly. (2) [1105]

I am always attended by
sixty thousand instruments,5
beautified by [my] retinue:
that is the fruit of good karma. (3) [1106]

In the ninety-four aeons since
I established that [Dhamma-]wheel
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a Dhamma-wheel. (4) [1107]

Eleven aeons after that
there were eight lords over countries;
[all] were named Sahassarāaja,6
wheel-turning kings with great power. (5) [1108]

The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (6) [1109]

Thus indeed Venerable Dhammacakkika Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Dhammacakkika Thera is finished.
