350. {353.} Kiṁsukapūjaka

Seeing a pulas tree in bloom,
stretching out hands pressed together,
recalling Siddhattha Buddha,
I offered pūjā in the sky.

In the ninety-four aeons since
I did pūjā with that flower,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā.

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

Thus indeed Venerable Kiṁsukapūjaka Thera spoke these verses.
