Surrounded by a large Assembly of Bhikkhus, the World Leader, sitting there, explained his past deeds: 3343. “ Hey, bhikkhus, listen to me. Whatever karma has been created by Me, if it is petty karma, it will ripen even if it is in the Buddha's being . 3344. In other previous lives I was a scoundrel named Munāḷī. I have slandered the Paccekabuddha Sarabhū, (He is) the one who does no wrong . 3345. Due to the achievement of that karma, I have been reincarnated for a long time in hell for many thousands of kalpas and have received suffering . 3346. Due to the remnants of that karma, here in the last life, I have received slander for the cause of (the female wanderer) Sundarika . 3347. The Buddha Sabbābhibhū had a Disciple named Nanda. Because of that false accusation, I have been reincarnated in hell for a long time . 3348. I have transmigrated in hell for ten thousand years. Having attained human nature, I have received many false accusations . 3349. Due to the remnants of that karma, Ciñcamānavikā slandered Me with the unreal in front of the crowd . 3350. I was a wise Brahmin, honored and respected. I taught spells to five hundred young men in the great forest . 3351. The hermit Bhīma, who had five great positions of wisdom, had great divine power, went to that place. And after seeing him come, I falsely accused him of not doing anything wrong . 3352. Then I said to my disciples: 'This hermit has a life of sensual pleasures.' Even while I was speaking, young men happily followed . 3353. Then all the young men, while begging from house to house, said to the crowd: 'This hermit has a life of sensual pleasures.' 3354. As a result of the achievement of that karma, all five hundred of these bhikkhus suffered slander, for the cause of (the female wanderer) Sundarika . 3355. In the past, for the cause of property I killed my half-brother (same father). I rushed into the treacherous gorge and crushed it with a rock . 3356. As a result of that karmic accomplishment, Devadatta threw a rock and broke the big toe of my foot due to a fragment of the rock . 3357. Before, I was a boy playing on the main road. After seeing the Paccekabuddha, I threw a stone on the path (at that Buddha) . 3358. Due to the achievement of that karma, here in the last life, Devadatta arranged assassins for the purpose of killing Me . 3359. Before, I was an elephant rider. (Seeing) the supreme sage, single-mindedly enlightened, going around for alms, I attacked him with an elephant . 3360. Due to the achievement of that karma, in the city of Giribbaja, the elephant Nālāgirī was furious and approached me . 3361. I was the king, the ruler. I killed the man with the spear. As a result of that karmic accomplishment, I was fiercely burned in hell . 3362. Due to the remnants of that karma, now the entire skin of my feet is uncomfortable, because karma is not destroyed . 3363. I was a fisherman in the fisherman's village. After seeing the fish being killed, I was filled with joy . 3364. As a result of the achievement of that karma, there was a pain in my head. And when Viḍūdabha rebelled, all the Sakya clans were killed . 3365. At the time of the Dhamma of (Buddha) Phussa, I rebuked the Sravakas saying: 'You chew, eat barley, and do not eat sālī rice.' 3366. As a result of that accomplishment, I (right) ate barley for three months. At that time, invited by the Brahmin, I dwelt in Verañjā . 3367. While the wrestling was in progress, I knocked down the son of the Malla. As a result of that karmic accomplishment, there was pain in my back . 3368. I was a physician. I gave the millionaire's son an enema. As a result of that accomplishment, I have diarrhea . 3369. At that time, I was Jotipāla. I said to the Venerable Kassapa: 'Enlightenment is a very difficult attainment, where is it to those who shave their heads?' 3370. As a result of that karmic accomplishment, I practiced many difficult deeds for six years at Uruvelā, after which I attained Enlightenment . 3371. I have not attained supreme Enlightenment by this (Middle Way) path. Stopped by past karma, I sought the wrong path (asceticism) . 3372. I have an end to good and evil, I have kept away from all irritations, I have no sorrows, no sorrows, I will Nirvana, no more gonorrhea ." 3373. The Conqueror, who has attained the full power of the winning position, in front of the Assembly of Bhikkhus, at the great lake of Anotatta, has explained like that. Thus the Blessed One spoke of a Dhamma discourse called Pubbakamma-pilotika [9] which refers to one's past actions like that.

After going to the deserted place and sitting down, I was in good spirits. After sitting down in the noble place of the castle, I then thought thus: 3376. “ I have acquired much wealth, and my interior is rich. Even King Ānanda, the lord of the earth, invited (me) . 3377. And this Buddha appeared. The Wise One is a rare phenomenon. And when my wealth is known, I will give alms to the Guru . 3378. The noble gifts that Prince Paduma offered to the Conqueror were dragons and armchairs, and the support was not meager . 3379. I will also offer alms that have not been previously offered by others to the Congregation, the ultimate noble collective. I will be the first to do it .” 3380. After thinking about the happy fruit of giving it in many ways, I have found that giving of things is fulfilling my intention. 3381. “ I will offer all kinds of items that have not been offered before by others to the Congregation, the supreme noble group. I will be the first to do it .” 3382. Immediately I went to the bamboo workers and told me to make a canopy. I have gathered a hundred thousand umbrellas into a pile. 3383.

I was told to do the fleece mattresses, the cotton mattresses, also the stool cushions, and the well-made pillows. 3395.

(I was told to make) incense sticks, beeswax, rags, face towels, thread, whatever is called an offering, and whatever is suitable for the Guru. 3401. Having gathered all this, I went to see King Ānanda. Having met the birth of the Great Hermit, I bowed my head and said these words: 3402. “ (We) were born and raised together, our minds are similar, we share happiness and suffering, and we both have the same goal . 3403. Sir , the enemy sensor, (god) has suffering in mind related to His Majesty. O king of kings, if you have the ability to ask you to put an end to that suffering ." 3404. “ Your suffering is mine, your mind is the same. If it concerns me, then realize that: 'It is done. '” 3405. "Dear great king, please understand for me, my suffering is difficult to eliminate. While possible, please declare that there is something precious that you cannot give up ." 3406. " Even if it's the kingdom, to my life, if there is any benefit to you with these things, I will give it to you without hesitation ." 3407. “ Your Majesty, indeed, you have declared. (However) that has been falsely claimed by many. Today I will know that Your Majesty is firm in all matters (or not?) .” 3408. “ You forced me too much while I was giving to you. What benefit do you get from forcing me? Tell me what you have longed for ." 3409. “ O great king, I wish for the supreme Buddha, the Supreme One. I will take care of the meal until the fully Enlightened, please don't let my life become a sin ." 3410. “ I will give you another favor, don't ask (for) the Tathagata. The Buddha is like a wish-fulfilling mani pearl that cannot be given to anyone ." 3411. “ Your Majesty, is it not what you claim to be (to give) even your own life? Rather, it is better to give the Tathagata than to give one's life ." 3412. “ The Great Hero should be reserved, the Conqueror cannot give it to anyone, the Buddha will not be approved by me. Choose to have unlimited wealth .” 3413. “ Let's go to arbitration, we'll ask the judges. Let's argue about it in the way that they will ." 3414. I took the king's hand and went to the court. Before the judges, I uttered these words: 3415. “ Please, judges, listen to me. The king has given me a favor, not excluding anything, he has also given me life . 3416. When he bestowed his favor on me, I prayed to the supreme Buddha. (Thus) Buddha has been given to me in a good way, or do I have doubts? ” 3417. “ We will listen to you and to the king who is the protector of the land. After listening to the two of them, we will cut off the doubt in this place ." 3418. “ Your Majesty, have you bestowed all that belongs to this man, and also life, without excluding anything? ” 3419. “ It was because of a difficult situation that (this person) asked for the supreme favor. After learning that this person was suffering greatly, I gave everything in my possession ." 3420. " Your Majesty, the loss belongs to you, the Tathagata should be given to this person. Your doubts have been severed, please stay true to the facts ." 3421. Standing right there, the king said this to the judge: “ O sages, if you too can give me (the favor), I will (will) receive the Buddha . ” 3422. " After you have fulfilled all your intentions, after having taken care of the meal for the Tathagata, you should hand over the Fully Enlightened One to the one of great fame Ānanda ." 3423. After paying homage to the judges and also to the king-king Ānanda, I became overjoyed and went to see the All-Enlightened One. 3424. After having gone to meet the Perfectly Enlightened One, who had crossed the floodwaters and was no longer tainted, I bowed my head and said these words: 3425. “ White One, please accept the invitation along with a hundred thousand capable people. You are bringing joy to my heart, please come to my house .” 3426. Knowing my intention, the One Who Knows the World Padumuttara, the recipient of the offerings, the Right Eye, accepted. 3427. After learning of (the Buddha's) acceptance, I bowed down to the Guru. Rejoicing, elated, I went home. 3428. After convening my friends and officials, I uttered these words: “ I have achieved a very difficult accomplishment, like (gained) a wish-fulfilling mani pearl . 3429. He is the Immeasurable, Unparalleled, the Wisdom who has no equal, no equal, the Conqueror without rival, what shall we offer him with? 3430. Similarly, the Human Niu is the equivalent of the incomparable, there is no second, so the upward action worthy of the Buddha is difficult for me . 3431. Let's collect different types of flowers and let's make a flower canopy; all these offerings will be worthy of the Buddha .” 3432. I made a canopy with blue lotus flowers, including pink lotus, vassika flower, adhimuttaka flower, campaka flower , and nāga flower . 3433. I have arranged a hundred thousand seats in the shade of the umbrellas. The last seat for me was worth over a hundred (coins). 3434. I have arranged a hundred thousand seats in the shade of the parasols. After preparing the rice and water, I announced the time. 3435. When the time was announced, the Great Sage Padumuttara with one hundred thousand capable persons came to my house. 3436. Along with one hundred thousand capable persons, the Supreme Being sat down (seat) with a canopy being maintained above, under a canopy made of skillfully blooming flowers. 3437. " White One, please accept one hundred thousand umbrellas, one hundred thousand seats to sit properly and without making mistakes ." 3438. Intent to help me overcome, the One Knowing the World Padumuttara, the recipient of the offerings, the Great Sage accepted it. 3439. I have offered each bhikkhu a separate bowl. You have discarded the bowl before and have used metal bowls. 3440. The Buddha sat on the roof of the flower seven days and nights. While helping many sentient beings to enlightenment, he turned the wheel of Dharma. 3441. While he was turning the wheel of Dharma under the canopy of the flower, there was the Dharma reception of eighty-four thousand (sentient beings). 3442. When the seventh day had come, the Great Sage Padumuttara, sitting in the shade of an umbrella, spoke these verses: 3443. “ The young man who has made a noble offering without lacking anything to Me, I will praise him. People, listen to Me . 3444. The elephants, the horses, the chariots, the soldiers and the army of the four branches will regularly escort this person; this is the fruit of giving everything. 3445.

Sixty thousand musical instruments and decorated large drums will regularly perform to this man; this is the fruit of giving everything . 3448. Eighty-six thousand women were adorned, adorned with colorful fabrics, and had pearl and manifold earrings. 3449. With curled eyelashes, a smile, a graceful posture, a slim waist, the girls will often surround this person; this is the fruit of giving everything . 3450. (This person) will be happy in the world of gods for 30,000 lives, and will be the Lord of the gods to rule over the heavenly kingdom 1,000 times. 3451. And (this person) will become a Wheel-turner a thousand times. The kingdom's territory was vast, incalculable . 3452. While living in the world of gods, the person who has obtained meritorious karma possesses a jewel-covered canopy that covers the entire world of the gods . 3453. When (this person) longs for shade, there is an umbrella made of cloth and the flower will cover the shade on a regular basis, according to this person's will . 3454. After dying from the world of gods, motivated by the element of purity, associated with good karma, (this person) will become a relative of Brahma (the Brahmin lineage) . 3455. In one hundred thousand kalpas (later), a Master named Gotama, from the Okkāka clan will appear in the world . 3456. Knowing all this, the noble Gotama of the Sakya lineage, after sitting down in the Assembly of Bhikkhus, will establish (this person) in the supreme position . 3457. (This person) will become the Master's Sravaka, named Piḷindivaccha, and will be respected among the devas, the Asuras, and the gandharvas . 3458. Having become popular with all, for the bhikkhus, for the bhikkhunis, and likewise for the lay people, he will live, no more. contraband or .” 3459. The work done (before) a hundred thousand kalpas, has shown me the treasure here. Like the speed of a well-shot arrow, I have burned through my afflictions. 3460. Oh, the job was well done by me in the unsurpassed Phuoc Dien. After doing work there, I attained Immovable status. 3461. It was the young man who made a noble offering without missing anything, was the first, was the pioneer; this is the fruit of that offering. 3462. After offering the umbrellas to the Lord Thien The and the Sangha, the supreme noble group, I enjoy eight blessings commensurate with my karma. 3463. I know no cold, and heat, dust, and sweat without stain, without danger, and without disaster, I have always been respected. 3464. I have soft skin, a pure mind, one hundred thousand umbrellas that belong to me while I reincarnate in the realm of existence. 3465. Due to the action of that karma, (these parasols) were adorned with all kinds of ornaments and maintained at the crown of my head, except this life. 3466. Why is there no maintenance of parasols for me in this life? For all the karma that I have done is for the sake of attaining the umbrella of liberation. 3467.
