[357. {360.}1 Piṇḍapātika2]
The Sambuddha was named Tissa;
he dwelt in the forest back then.
Coming here from Tusitā, I
I gave alms food [to that Buddha]. (1) [3176]
I saluted the Sambuddha,
the Greatly Famed One named Tissa.
Bringing pleasure to [my] own heart,
I [then] went [back] to Tusitā. (2) [3177]
In the ninety-two aeons since
I gave that almsgiving back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of [giving] alms food. (3) [3178]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (4) [3179]
Thus indeed Venerable Piṇḍapātika Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Piṇḍapātika Thera is finished.
