Nisinnamattova utusappāyaṃ labhitvā vipassanaṃ ussukkāpetvā arahattaṃ pāpuṇi. Tena vuttaṃ apadāne (apa. thera 1.11.29-35) –

‘‘Suvaṇṇavaṇṇaṃ sambuddhaṃ, gacchantaṃ anilañjase;

Ghatāsanaṃva jalitaṃ, ādittaṃva hutāsanaṃ.

‘‘Pāṇinā udakaṃ gayha, ākāse ukkhipiṃ ahaṃ;

Sampaṭicchi mahāvīro, buddho kāruṇiko isi.

‘‘Antalikkhe ṭhito satthā, padumuttaranāmako;

Mama saṅkappamaññāya, imā gāthā abhāsatha.

‘‘Iminā dakadānena, pītiuppādanena ca;

Kappasatasahassampi, duggatiṃ nupapajjati.

‘‘Tena kammena dvipadinda, lokajeṭṭha narāsabha;

Pattomhi acalaṃ ṭhānaṃ, hitvā jayaparājayaṃ.

‘‘Sahassarājanāmena, tayo te cakkavattino;

Pañcasaṭṭhikappasate, cāturantā janādhipā.

‘‘Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ…pe… kataṃ buddhassa sāsana’’nti.

‘‘Ko kuṭikāyaṃ bhikkhu kuṭikāyaṃ, vītarāgo susamāhitacitto;

Evaṃ jānāhi āvuso, amoghā te kuṭikā katā’’ti. –

Tena kammavipākena, devindo tvaṃ bhavissasi.

‘‘Chattiṃsakkhattuṃ devindo, devarajjaṃ karissasi;
