A Brief Account of Prophecy in Verse form
Our Bodhisatta had thus received the prophecy predicting his Buddhahood from the former twenty-four Buddhas, beginning with Dīpaṅkarā and ending with Kassapa, and this has been composed briefly in the Dhammarasi Pyo (vv. 7,8 and 9). (The author then gives pertinent extracts from the pyo which we leave untranslated.)
