Aṭṭhakanipāte kammaṃ bahukantiādikā āyasmato mahākaccāyanattherassa gāthā. Kā uppatti? Ayampi purimabuddhesu katādhikāro padumuttarassa bhagavato kāle gahapatimahāsālakule nibbattitvā vuddhippatto, ekadivasaṃ satthu santike dhammaṃ suṇanto satthārā saṃkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṃ vibhajantānaṃ aggaṭṭhāne ṭhapiyamānaṃ ekaṃ bhikkhuṃ disvā, sayampi taṃ ṭhānaṃ patthento paṇidhānaṃ katvā, dānādīni puññāni katvā, devamanussesu saṃsaranto sumedhassa bhagavato kāle vijjādharo hutvā ākāsena gacchanto satthāraṃ himavantapabbate ekasmiṃ vanasaṇḍe nisinnaṃ disvā pasannamānaso kaṇikārapupphehi pūjaṃ akāsi.

So tena puññakammena aparāparaṃ sugatīsuyeva parivattento kassapadasabalassa kāle bārāṇasiyaṃ kulaghare nibbattitvā parinibbute bhagavati suvaṇṇacetiyakaraṇaṭṭhāne satasahassagghanikāya suvaṇṇiṭṭhakāya pūjaṃ katvā, ‘‘bhagavā mayhaṃ nibbattanibbattaṭṭhāne sarīraṃ suvaṇṇavaṇṇaṃ hotū’’ti patthanaṃ akāsi.

Tato yāvajīvaṃ kusalakammaṃ katvā ekaṃ buddhantaraṃ devamanussesu saṃsaritvā imasmiṃ buddhuppāde ujjeniyaṃ rañño caṇḍapajjotassa purohitagehe nibbatti. Tassa nāmaggahaṇadivase mātā ‘‘mayhaṃ putto suvaṇṇavaṇṇo, attano nāmaṃ gahetvā āgato’’ti kañcanamāṇavo tveva nāmaṃ akāsi. So vuḍḍhimanvāya tayo vede uggahetvā pitu accayena purohitaṭṭhānaṃ labhi. So gottavasena kaccāyanoti paññāyittha. Taṃ rājā caṇḍapajjoto buddhuppādaṃ sutvā, ‘‘ācariya, tvaṃ tattha gantvā satthāraṃ idhānehī’’ti pesesi. So attaṭṭhamo satthu santikaṃ upagato. Tassa satthā dhammaṃ deseti. Desanāpariyosāne so sattahi janehi saddhiṃ saha paṭisambhidāhi arahatte patiṭṭhāsi. Tena vuttaṃ apadāne (apa. thera 2.54.1-27) –

‘‘Padumuttaro nāma jino, anejo ajitaṃ jayo;

‘‘Vīro kamalapattakkho, sasaṅkavimalānano;

‘‘Kaccānassa guṇaṃ sutvā, taṃ ṭhānaṃ patthayaṃ ṭhito;

Anāgatamhi addhāne, gotamassa mahāmune.

‘‘Tassa dhammesu dāyādo, oraso dhammanimmito;

‘‘Bahussuto mahāñāṇī, adhippāyavidū mune;

Pāpuṇissati taṃ ṭhānaṃ, yathāyaṃ byākato mayā.

‘‘Satasahassito kappe, yaṃ kammamakariṃ tadā;

‘‘Pacchime ca bhave dāni, jāto ujjeniyaṃ pure;

Pajjotassa ca caṇḍassa, purohitadijādhino.

‘‘Putto tiriṭivacchassa, nipuṇo vedapāragū;
