So kira purimabuddhesu katādhikāro tattha tattha vivaṭṭūpanissayaṃ puññaṃ upacinanto ito catunavute kappe siddhatthassa bhagavato kāle candabhāgāya nadiyā mahārūpo susumāro hutvā nibbatto. So pāraṃ gantuṃ nadiyā tīraṃ upagataṃ bhagavantaṃ disvā pasannacitto pāraṃ netukāmo tīrasamīpe nipajji. Bhagavā tassa anukampāya piṭṭhiyaṃ pāde ṭhapesi.

Uppanne pana ābādhe sañjātasaṃvego vīriyārambhavatthuṃ katvā vipassanāya kammaṃ karonto vipassanaṃ ussukkāpetvā arahattaṃ pāpuṇi. Tena vuttaṃ apadāne (apa. thera 1.3.169-179) –

‘‘Candabhāgānadītīre, susumāro ahaṃ tadā;

Sagocarapasutohaṃ, nadititthaṃ agacchahaṃ.

‘‘Siddhattho tamhi samaye, sayambhū aggapuggalo;

Nadiṃ taritukāmo so, nadititthaṃ upāgami.

‘‘Upagate ca sambuddhe, ahampi tatthupāgamiṃ;

Upagantvāna sambuddhaṃ, imaṃ vācaṃ udīrayiṃ.

‘‘Abhirūha mahāvīra, tāressāmi ahaṃ tuvaṃ;

Pettikaṃ visayaṃ mayhaṃ, anukampa mahāmuni.

‘‘Mama uggajjanaṃ sutvā, abhirūhi mahāmuni;

Haṭṭho haṭṭhena cittena, tāresiṃ lokanāyakaṃ.

‘‘Nadiyā pārime tīre, siddhattho lokanāyako;

Assāsesi mamaṃ tattha, amataṃ pāpuṇissati.

‘‘Tamhā kāyā cavitvāna, devalokaṃ agacchahaṃ;

Dibbasukhaṃ anubhaviṃ, accharāhi purakkhato.

‘‘Sattakkhattuñca devindo, devarajjamakāsahaṃ;

Tīṇikkhattuṃ cakkavattī, mahiyā issaro ahuṃ.

‘‘Vivekamanuyuttohaṃ , nipako ca susaṃvuto;

Dhāremi antimaṃ dehaṃ, sammāsambuddhasāsane.

‘‘Catunnavutito kappe, tāresiṃ yaṃ narāsabhaṃ;

Duggatiṃ nābhijānāmi, taraṇāya idaṃ phalaṃ.

‘‘Kilesā jhāpitā mayhaṃ…pe… kataṃ buddhassa sāsana’’nti.

Arahattaṃ pana patvā attano sammā paṭipattiyā paripuṇṇākāravibhāvanamukhena aññaṃ byākaronto ‘‘ābādhe me samuppanne’’ti gāthaṃ abhāsi.
