The Chronicle of the Buddha Koṇāgamana
The Conqueror named Koṇāgamana, the elder of the world, the lord of men.
Having washed away all stain, he attained the highest enlightenment.
There was the first full realization for thirty thousand koṭis.
For twenty thousand crores, there was the second full realization.
There the Fully Self-Enlightened One dwelt, on the Paṇḍukambala stone.
For ten thousand crores, there was the third full realization.
Of those who had eliminated the mental corruptions, spotless ones, of peaceful minds, such ones.
Of those who had overcome the floods, and broken free from death.
Accomplished with friends and colleagues, with infinite forces and vehicles.
Having invited the Community with the Conqueror, having given a gift as much as wished.
And golden slippers as well, I gave to the Teacher's disciples.
"In this fortunate cosmic cycle, this one will be a Buddha.
I determined upon further ascetic practice, for the fulfilment of the ten perfections.
Having abandoned the great kingdom, I went forth in the presence of the Conqueror.
There in that city dwelt the great family of the Fully Self-Enlightened One.
The mother was named Uttarā, of the Teacher Koṇāgamana.
Tusita, Santusita, and Santuṭṭha, three excellent mansions.
Rucigattā was the name of that woman, Satthavāha was her son.
For six months the striving conduct, the highest of men practised.
The great hero turned the wheel, at the deer-park, the highest of men.
Sotthija by name was the attendant of the Teacher Koṇāgamana.
The enlightenment tree of that Blessed One is called the glamorous fig tree.
Sīvalā and Sāmā were the chief female attendants.
Like gold in the mouth of a forge, thus adorned with rays.
Remaining for that long, he helped many people to cross.
Having made a garland-ball of Dhamma-flowers, he, together with his disciples, attained final Nibbāna.
All that has disappeared, are not all activities empty?
