[205. Nigguṇḍipupphiya1]
I was dwelling in the ashram
of Vipassi, the Blessed One.
Gathering nigguṇḍi2 flowers,
I offered [them] to the Buddha. (1) [2290]
In the ninety-one aeons since
I did pūjā [with] that flower,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. (2) [2291]
In the thirty-fifth aeon hence
there was one lord of the people
[whose] name was Mahāpatāpa,3
a wheel-turning king with great strength. (3) [2292]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (4) [2293]
Thus indeed Venerable Nigguṇḍipupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Nigguṇḍipupphiya Thera is finished.
