“Yaṁ dāyavāsiko isi,

tiṇaṁ lāyati satthuno;

Sabbe padakkhiṇāvaṭṭā,

pathabyā nipatiṁsu te.

Tamahaṁ tiṇamādāya,

santhariṁ dharaṇuttame;

Tīṇeva tālapattāni,

āharitvānahaṁ tadā.

Tiṇena chadanaṁ katvā,

siddhatthassa adāsahaṁ;

Sattāhaṁ dhārayuṁ tassa,

devamānusasatthuno.

Catunnavutito kappe,

yaṁ tiṇaṁ adadiṁ tadā;

Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi,

tiṇadānassidaṁ phalaṁ.

Pañcasaṭṭhimhito kappe,

cattārosuṁ mahaddhanā;

Sattaratanasampannā,

cakkavattī mahabbalā.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā tiṇasanthārako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Tiṇasanthārakattherassāpadānaṁ dutiyaṁ.

Walt 2219 What grass a forest-dwelling sage
is reaping for the Great Teacher,
all those blades turning to the right
fell down upon the earth back then. Verse 1

Walt 2220 That I, taking a load of grass
and bringing blades of grass and leaves
of palmyra did make a mat,
spread out on the excellent ground. Verse 2

Walt 2221 Fashioning that grass and those leaves,
I gave that mat to Siddhattha;
for seven days I bore it there
for the Teacher of Gods and Men. Verse 3

Walt 2222 In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave the Buddha grass back then
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a gift of grass. Verse 4

Walt 2223 In the sixty-fifth aeon hence
there were four named Mahādhana,
wheel-turning monarchs with great strength,
possessors of the seven gems. Verse 5

Walt 2224 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 6

Thus indeed Venerable Tiṇasantharadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Tiṇasantharadāyaka Thera is finished.
