“Himavantassāvidūre,

romaso nāma pabbato;

Tamhi pabbatapādamhi,

samaṇo bhāvitindriyo.

Biḷāliyo gahetvāna,

samaṇassa adāsahaṁ;

Anumodi mahāvīro,

sayambhū aparājito.

Biḷālī te mama dinnā,

vippasannena cetasā;

Bhave nibbattamānamhi,

phalaṁ nibbattataṁ tava.

Catunnavutito kappe,

yaṁ biḷālimadāsahaṁ;

Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi,

biḷāliyā idaṁ phalaṁ.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā biḷālidāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Biḷālidāyakattherassāpadānaṁ pañcamaṁ.

Walt 2557 In the Himalayan region,
there’s a mountain named Romasa.
At the foot of that mountain lived
a monk with senses well-controlled. Verse 1

Walt 2558 Having gathered tuberous roots,
I donated them to that monk.
The Great Hero rejoiced in that,
the Self-Become, Unconquered One: Verse 2

Walt 2559 “Tuberous roots you’ve given me
with a mind that is very clear.
Transmigrating in existence
the fruit will be reborn for you.” Verse 3

Walt 2560 In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave him those tuberous roots,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of tuberous roots. Verse 4

Walt 2561 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5

Thus indeed Venerable Biḷālidāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Biḷālidāyaka Thera is finished.
