[47. Sayanadāyaka1]
I gave an excellent bedstead
covered with [all of the] bedclothes2
to Siddhattha, the Blessed One,
Loving-Hearted, the Neutral One. (1) [1202]
[Then] the Blessed One accepted
[that] appropriate bed-and-chair.
[And] having risen from that seat
the Victor flew up in the air. (2) [1203]
In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave [him] that bed [way back then,]
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth;
that is the fruit of a bedstead. (3) [1204]
The one called Varuṇa Deva,3
possessor of the seven gems,
was a wheel-turner with great strength
in the fifty-first aeon [hence]. (4) [1205]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (5) [1206]
Thus indeed Venerable Sayanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sayanadāyaka Thera is finished.
