The Section on Miscellaneous About the Buddhas

1.

After incalculable cosmic cycles, there were four great leaders;

Taṇhaṅkara, Medhaṅkara, and also Saraṇaṅkara;

And the Fully Self-Enlightened One Dīpaṅkara - those Conquerors were in one cosmic cycle.

2.

After Dīpaṅkara, the Leader named Koṇḍañña;

Alone in one cosmic cycle, he helped many people to cross.

3.

For the Blessed One Dīpaṅkara, and for the Teacher Koṇḍañña;

The aeons between these are incalculable by counting.

4.

After Koṇḍañña, the Leader named Maṅgala;

The aeons between them are incalculable by counting.

5.

Maṅgala and Sumana, Revata, Sobhita the sage;

They too were Buddhas in one cosmic cycle, those with vision, light-bringers.

6.

After Sobhita, Anomadassī of great fame;

The aeons between them are incalculable by counting.

7.

Anomadassī, Paduma, and Nārada too, the Leader;

They too were Buddhas in one cosmic cycle, sages who made an end of darkness.

8.

After Nārada, the Leader named Padumuttara;

Arisen in one cosmic cycle, he helped many people to cross.

9.

Of the Blessed One Nārada, of the Teacher Padumuttara;

The aeons between them are incalculable by counting.

10.

A hundred thousand cosmic cycles ago, there was one great sage;

Padumuttara, knower of the world, the receiver of oblations.

11.

In thirty thousand cosmic cycles, there were two great leaders;

Sumedha and Sujāta, before Padumuttara.

12.

In eighteen hundred cosmic cycles, there were three great leaders;

Piyadassī, Atthadassī, and Dhammadassī were the masters.

13.

And before Sujāta, the self-enlightened ones, the highest of two-footed beings;

Those Buddhas were in one cosmic cycle, matchless in the world.

14.

Ninety-four cosmic cycles ago from now, there was one great sage;

He was Siddhattha, knower of the world, the unsurpassed surgeon.

15.

Ninety-two cosmic cycles ago from now, there were two great leaders;

Tissa and Phussa, the self-enlightened ones, matchless, without equal.

16.

Ninety-one cosmic cycles ago from now, the Leader named Vipassī;

He too, the compassionate Buddha, freed beings from bondage.

17.

Thirty-one cosmic cycles ago from now, there were two great leaders;

Sikhī and Vessabhū, matchless, without equal.

18.

In this fortunate cosmic cycle, there were three great leaders;

Kakusandha, Koṇāgamana, and Kassapa too, the Leader.

19.

I am now the Fully Self-Enlightened One, and Metteyya too will be;

These five Buddhas, the wise ones, have compassion for the world.

20.

Of these kings of the teaching, and of many tens of millions of others;

Having proclaimed that path, they were quenched together with their disciples.

The Miscellaneous Chapter on the Buddhas is concluded.
