353. {356.} Ambayāgudāyaka

The Sambuddha, Hundred-Rayed-One,
the Self-Become, Unconquered One,
rising up from meditation,
approached me begging for alms food.

Seeing the Paccekabuddha,
with a mind that was very clear,
I gave gruel made with mangoes
to him, the Clear-Minded Buddha.

In the ninety-four aeons since
I did that good karma back then,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of gruel with mangoes.

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

Thus indeed Venerable Ambayāgudāyaka Thera spoke these verses.
