“Udentaṁ sataraṁsiṁva,

pītaraṁsiṁva bhāṇumaṁ;

Kakudhaṁ vilasantaṁva,

padumuttaranāyakaṁ.

Isimuggāni pisitvā,

madhukhudde anīḷake;

Pāsādeva ṭhito santo,

adāsiṁ lokabandhuno.

Aṭṭhasatasahassāni,

ahesuṁ buddhasāvakā;

Sabbesaṁ pattapūrentaṁ,

tato cāpi bahuttaraṁ.

Tena cittappasādena,

sukkamūlena codito;

Kappānaṁ satasahassaṁ,

duggatiṁ nupapajjahaṁ.

Cattālīsamhi sahasse,

kappānaṁ aṭṭhatiṁsa te;

Isimuggasanāmā te,

cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā isimuggadāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Isimuggadāyakattherassāpadānaṁ pañcamaṁ.

Walt 2175 Like the rising hundred-rayed sun,
like the sun when it had risen,
shining like royal ornaments,
the Lord was Padumuttara. Verse 1

Walt 2176 Grinding up some sage’s mung beans
in bee’s honey devoid of bees,
being established in pleasure,
I gave them to the World’s Kinsman. Verse 2

Walt 2177 Eight hundred thousand followers
of the Buddha were with him then.
Filling the bowls of all of them,
I provided a huge amount. Verse 3

Walt 2178 Because of that mental pleasure,
incited by those happy roots,
for one hundred thousand aeons
I was not born in a bad state. Verse 4

Walt 2179 In the forty-thousandth aeon
ago, they numbered thirty-eight,
those wheel-turning kings with great strength,
whose names were Mahisamanta. Verse 5

Walt 2180 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6

Thus indeed Venerable Isimuggadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Isimuggadāyaka Thera is finished.
