[442. {445.}1 Utulhipupphiya2]

Taking an utulhi flower,
I offered it to the Bodhi,
when [that] banyan3 tree had grown large,
in the golden-colored sunlight.4 (1) [4747]

Within the [present] aeon, since
I offered a flower back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Bodhi-pūujāa. (2) [4748]

My defilements are [now] burnt up;
all [new] existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. (3) [4749]

Being in Best Buddha’s presence
was a very good thing for me.
The three knowledges are attained;
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (4) [4750]

The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (5) [4751]

Thus indeed Venerable Utulhipupphiya5 Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Utulhipupphiya6 Thera is finished.
