now is the time, reverend Sir, for the Gracious One’s Final Emancipation.’
Evaṁ vutte ahaṁ, Ānanda, Māraṁ Pāpimantaṁ etad-avoca:
When that was said, Ānanda, I said this to the Wicked Māra:
‘Appossukko tvaṁ Pāpima hohi,
‘You should have little concern, Wicked One,
na ciraṁ Tathāgatassa Parinibbānaṁ bhavissati,
in no long time the Realised One will be Finally Emancipated,
ito tiṇṇaṁ māsānaṁ accayena, Tathāgato Parinibbāyissatī.’ ti
after three months have passed from now, the Realised One will attain Final
Emancipation.’

Now today, Ānanda, at the Cāpāla Shrine the Realised One
satena sampajānena āyusaṅkhāro ossaṭṭho.” ti
mindfully, with full awareness, gave up the life-process.”
Evaṁ vutte āyasmā Ānando Bhagavantaṁ etad-avoca:
When this was said venerable Ānanda said this to the Gracious One:
“Tiṭṭhatu Bhante Bhagavā kappaṁ tiṭṭhatu Sugato kappaṁ,
“Let the Gracious One remain, reverend Sir, for the lifespan, let the Fortunate One
remain for the lifespan,

for the benefit of many people, for the happiness of many people, having compassion on
the world,
atthāya hitāya sukhāya Devamanussānan.”-ti
for the welfare, benefit, and happiness of Divinities and men.”
