[100. Buddhūpaṭṭhāka]
[Back then] I was the conch-blower
for Vipassi, the Blessed One,
constantly engaged in service
to the Well-Gone One, the Great Sage. (1) [1606]
Look at the fruit of that service
to the Neutral One, the World-Chief:
sixty thousand turiya-drums
are constantly attending me. (2) [1607]
In the ninety-one aeons since
I served the Great Sage in that way,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of doing service. (3) [1608]
In the twenty-fourth1 aeon hence
there were sixteen [different] kings [then];
[all] were named Mahānigghosa,2
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength. (4) [1609]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (5) [1610]
Thus indeed Venerable Buddhūpaṭṭhāka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Buddhūpaṭṭhāka Thera is finished.
