276. Potthadāyaka

Walt 2605 I gave a plastering gift for

the Gift-Worthy, Unexcelled One

in the name of the Great Sage, the

Teacher, and the Teaching, and monks. Verse 1

Walt 2606 In the ninety-one aeons since

I did that good karma back then,

I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:

that’s the fruit of a plaster-gift. Verse 2

Walt 2607 The four analytical modes,

and these eight deliverances,

six special knowledges mastered,

I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 3

Thus indeed Venerable Potthadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Potthadāyaka Thera is finished.
