[240. Vāsidāyaka1]
In the past I was a blacksmith
in Tivarā,2 best of cities.
One razor was the gift I made
to an unconquered Lonely One. (1) [2459]
In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave [him] that razor back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
the fruit of a gifted razor. (2) [2460]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (3) [2461]
Thus indeed Venerable Vāsidāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Vāsidāyaka Thera is finished.
