[450. {453.}1 Sīhāsanavījanīya2]
I worshipped the Bodhi tree of
Tissa [Buddha], the Blessed One.
Having taken up a fan there,
I fanned the [Bodhi’s] lion-throne. (1) [4813]
In the ninety-two aeons since
I fanned that lion-throne back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that is the fruit of fanning [it]. (2) [4814]
My defilements are [now] burnt up;
all [new] existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
I am living without constraint. (3) [4815]
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) [4816]
The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
[I have] done what the Buddha taught! (5) [4817]
Thus indeed Venerable Sīhāsanavījanīya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Sīhāsanavījanīya Thera is finished.
