Chronicle of the Buddha Revata
Incomparable, matchless, unequalled, the highest Conqueror.
The defining of the aggregates and elements, the non-occurrence in any kind of existence.
The first full realization was not to be told by counting.
Then of a thousand koṭis, there was the second full realization.
A hundred crores of humans and deities, he trained in the highest fruit.
Of those who had eliminated the mental corruptions, spotless ones, well-liberated ones of such quality.
The second meeting was of a hundred thousand koṭis.
He was then diseased, having reached danger of life.
Ten thousand koṭis of Worthy Ones, the third meeting was.
Having approached Revata the Buddha, I went for refuge to him.
According to my strength, I gave a cloak.
"Immeasurable cosmic cycles from now, this one will be a Buddha.
I determined upon further ascetic practice, for the fulfilment of the ten perfections.
I will bring that teaching, which was longed for by me.
The mother was named Vipulā, of the great sage Revata.
Sudassana, Ratanagghi, and Āveḷa, decorated;
Produced by meritorious deeds, three excellent mansions.
Sudassanā was the name of that woman, Varuṇa was her son.
For no less than seven months, the Conqueror strove in striving.
The great hero turned the wheel, at Varuṇa's park, in the glorious house.
Sambhava by name was the attendant of the great sage Revata.
That Buddha too, equal to the matchless, was awakened at the foot of a nāga tree.
Sirīmā and Yasavatī were the chief female attendants.
Illuminates all directions, like the risen banner of Indra.
By day or by night, it pervades a yojana all around.
Remaining for that long, he helped many people to cross.
He attained Nibbāna without clinging, like a fire with the elimination of fuel.
All that has disappeared, are not all activities empty?
