[266. Macchchadāyaka1]
On CChandabhāgā River’s bank
I was an osprey2 at that time.
I brought3 a big fish and gave it
to the Buddha [named] Siddhattha. (1) [2562]
In the ninety-four aeons since
I donated that fish back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of fish donations. (2) [2563]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (3) [2564]
Thus indeed Venerable Macchchadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Macchchadāyaka Thera is finished.
