[216. Saṇṭhita1]
I obtained perception of the
Mindful One, [seeing] a Buddha
gone beneath an Aśvattha2 tree,
full-grown and brightly shining green. (1) [2345]
In the thirty-one aeons since
I obtained that perception then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of perceiving Buddha. (2) [2346]
In the thirtieth aeon hence
lived the monarch3 named Dhanittha,4
a wheel-turning king with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems. (3) [2347]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (4) [2348]
Thus indeed Venerable Saṇṭhita Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Saṇṭhita Thera is finished.
