The Fourth Chapter for Recitation - 156<br />

Atha kho Bhagavato, Cundassa Kammāraputtassa bhattaṁ bhuttāvissa,<br />

Then for the Gracious One, after eating Cunda the Smith’s food,<br />

kharo ābādho uppajji, lohitapakkhandikā,<br />

a painful affliction arose, bloody dysentery,<br />

pabāḷhā vedanā vattanti maraṇantikā.<br />

and strong feelings occurred, such as end in death.<br />

Tā sudaṁ Bhagavā sato sampajāno adhivāsesi avihaññamāno.<br />

There the Gracious One, mindfully, with full awareness, bore (those pains) without being<br />

troubled.<br />

Atha kho Bhagavā āyasmantaṁ Ānandaṁ āmantesi:<br />

Then the Gracious One addressed venerable Ānanda, (saying):<br />

“Āyām’ Ānanda yena Kusinārā tenupasaṅkamissāmā.” ti<br />

“Come, Ānanda, let us approach Kusinārā.”<br />

“Evaṁ Bhante,” ti kho āyasmā Ānando Bhagavato paccassosi.<br />

“Very well, reverend Sir”, venerable Ānanda replied to the Gracious One.<br />

“Cundassa bhattaṁ bhuñjitvā Kammārassā ti me sutaṁ,<br />

“Having eaten Cunda the Smith’s food, so I have heard,<br />

Ābādhaṁ samphusī Dhīro pabāḷhaṁ maraṇantikaṁ.<br />

The Firm One experienced a very strong affliction, such as ends in death.<br />

Bhuttassa ca sūkaramaddavena,<br />

* For the Teacher, who had eaten tender pork,<br />

Byādhippabāḷho udapādi Satthuno.<br />

A very strong sickness arose.<br />

Viriccamāno Bhagavā avoca:<br />

While (still) purging the Gracious One said:<br />

‘Gacchāmahaṁ Kusināraṁ nagaran’.”-ti<br />

‘I (will) go to the town of Kusinārā.’” 185<br />

185 The Commentary notes: Imā gāthāyo Saṅgītikāle saṅgītikārakehi vuttā - these verses were<br />

spoken by the recitors at the time of the (first) Council.
