The Chronicle of the Buddha Gotama
Having striven in striving, I attained the highest enlightenment.
There was the first full realization for eighteen koṭis.
The second full realization was not to be told by counting.
The third full realization was not to be told by counting.
A meeting of one thousand two hundred and fifty monks.
I give all that is wished for, like a gem that grants all desires.
I make known the four truths, out of compassion for living beings.
The full realizations of one or two are incalculable by counting.

Here the Dispensation of the Sage of the Sakyans was well purified by me.
10.
Monks, many hundreds, all surround me always.
Trainees who have not attained their goal, those monks are censured by the wise.
The mindful ones, gone into the stream of saṃsāra, will understand.
My mother who gave me birth is called Queen Māyā.
Ramma, Suramma, and Subhaka, three excellent mansions.
Bhaddakañcanā was the name of that woman, Rāhula was her son.
For six years I practised the striving conduct, hard to do.
I am the Gotama, the Self-awakened One, the refuge of all living beings.
Ānanda by name was the attendant, one who kept near to me;
Nanda's mother and Uttarā, the chief female attendant lay followers.
The halo always around me, risen up to sixteen cubits.
Remaining for that long, I help many people to cross over.
I too, before long, together with the Community of disciples;
Right here I shall attain final Nibbāna, like a fire through the exhaustion of fuel.
And this body bearing virtues, adorned with the thirty-two excellent characteristics.
All that will disappear, are not all activities empty?
The lineage of the Blessed One Gotama is twenty-fifth.
