[150. Pallaṅkadāyaka1]
I gave Sumedha, the World’s Best,
the Blessed One, the Neutral One,
a [well-made] couch [for him to use,]
which had an upper covering. (1) [1988]
At that time that [well-made] couch was
studded with the seven gemstones.
In accordance with my thinking,
[that is] always produced for me.2 (2) [1989]
In the thirty thousand aeons
since I gave [him] that couch back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of a couch-[gift]. (3) [1990]
In the twenty-thousandth aeon,
there were three [named] Suvaṇṇābha,3
wheel-turning kings with great power,
possessors of the seven gems. (4) [1991]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (5) [1992]
Thus indeed Venerable Pallaṅkadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Pallaṅkadāyaka Thera is finished.
