49. (He also constructed) of jewels a Thūpa of the shape of a flame at the most
excellent Mahāthūpa, and in connection (?) with that work he also brought
offerings.
50. Andhakavindakasuttantaṁ Devatherassa bhāsato
catudvāre dhuvayāguṁ paṭṭhapesi arindamo. |
50. (Having heard) the Andhakavinda Suttanta, 711 which was preached by Thera
Deva, this victorious king ordered rice-milk continually to be distributed at the
four gates (of the town).
51. Vijayakumārako nāma Sirināgassa atrajo
pituno accaye rajjaṁ ekavassaṁ akārayi. |
51. Vijayakumāra, 712 the son of Sirināga, reigned after his father’s death one
year.
52. rajjaṁ cattāri vassāni Saṅghatisso akārayi,
Mahāthūpamhi chattaṁ so hemakammañ ca kārayi. 713 |
52. Saṅghatissa reigned four years; he fixed a parasol and goldsmith’s work on
the Mahāthūpa.
53. Saṅghabodhi nāma nāmena rājā āsi susīlavā,
dve vassān’ eva so rājā rajjaṁ kāresi khattiyo. |
53. King Saṅghabodhi by name was a virtuous prince; this king reigned two
years.
54. ramme Meghavanuyyāne dhuvayāguṁ arindamo
paṭṭhapesi salākaggaṁ Mahāvihāramuttame. |
54. This victorious king ordered rice-milk continually to be distributed in the
delightful Meghavana garden, and in the most excellent Mahāvihāra he
constructed a room where food was distributed by tickets.
711 This discourse of Buddha which contains praises of those who provide rice-milk for
the Fraternity, is contained in the Mahāvagga of the Vinaya-Piṭaka, V1, 24.
712 The stanza treating of Vijaya is interposed between two sections which refer to king
Saṁghatissa’s reign. The confusion seems brought on by an injudicious employment of
different sources; I do not believe that we ought to alter the succession of these verses.
713 52b is wanting in Y F.
