[214. Ekasaññaka1]
I saw the Teacher’s robe of rags,
stuck up in the top of a tree.2
Having pressed my hands together
I worshipped the [Buddha’s] rag-robe. (1) [2335]
In the thirty-one aeons since
I obtained that perception then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. (2) [2336]
In the twenty-fifth aeon hence
there was one lord of the people
[known] by the name Amitābhā,3
a wheel-turning king with great strength. (3) [2337]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (4) [2338]
Thus indeed Venerable Ekasaññaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Ekasaññaka Thera is finished.
