[302. Sabbagandhiya1]
I gave a garland of flowers
to Vipassi [Buddha], Great Sage,
[and] I gave to the Upright One
[a piece of] the finest silk cloth. (1) [2721]
In the ninety-one aeons since
I formerly gave [him] that cloth,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of giving perfumes. (2) [2722]
In the fifteenth aeon ago
[lived] a ruler2 named Succhela,3
a wheel-turning king with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems. (3) [2723]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (4) [2724]
Thus indeed Venerable Sabbagandhiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sabbagandhiya Thera is finished.
