“Siddhatthassa bhagavato,

mettacittassa tādino;

Sayanaggaṁ mayā dinnaṁ,

dussabhaṇḍehi atthataṁ.

Paṭiggahesi bhagavā,

kappiyaṁ sayanāsanaṁ;

Uṭṭhāya sayanā tamhā,

vehāsaṁ uggamī jino.

Catunnavutito kappe,

yaṁ sayanamadāsahaṁ;

Duggatiṁ nābhijānāmi,

sayanassa idaṁ phalaṁ.

Ekapaññāsito kappe,

varako devasavhayo;

Sattaratanasampanno,

cakkavattī mahabbalo.

Paṭisambhidā catasso,

…pe…

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ”.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā sayanadāyako thero imā gāthāyo abhāsitthāti.

Sayanadāyakattherassāpadānaṁ sattamaṁ.

Walt 1202 I gave an excellent bedstead
covered with all of the bedclothes
to Siddhattha, the Blessed One,
Loving-Hearted, the Neutral One. Verse 1

Walt 1203 Then the Blessed One accepted
that appropriate bed-and-chair.
And having risen from that seat
the Victor flew up in the air. Verse 2

Walt 1204 In the ninety-four aeons since
I gave him that bed way back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth;
that is the fruit of a bedstead. Verse 3

Walt 1205 The one called Varuṇa Deva,
possessor of the seven gems,
was a wheel-turner with great strength
in the fifty-first aeon hence. Verse 4

Walt 1206 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5

Thus indeed Venerable Sayanadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.

The legend of Sayanadāyaka Thera is finished.
