[110. Reṇupūjaka1]
[I saw] the golden Sambuddha,
just like the hundred-raying sun,
shining forth in all directions
just like the moon when it is full, (1) [1672]
surrounded by [his followers]
just like the earth is by the sea.
I presented to Vipassi
a pollen-filled ironwood2 bloom. (2) [1673]
In the ninety-one aeons since
I offered that pollen [to him],
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. (3) [1674]
In the forty-fifth aeon hence
there was a king3 known as Reṇu,4
a wheel-turner with great power,
possessor of the seven gems. (4) [1675]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (5) [1676]
Thus indeed Venerable Reṇupūjaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Reṇupūjaka Thera is finished.
