238. Ambayāgadāyaka

An expert in my field back then,
I went into a forest grove,
and seeing Buddha, the Calm One,
I gave him a gift of mangoes.

In the ninety-one aeons since
I gave him that donation back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of a mango-gift.

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

Thus indeed Venerable Ambayāgadāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
