Mahaparinibbanasuttam (DN 16) - Ancient Buddhist Texts

The Fourth Chapter for Recitation - 168
“Tena hi Pukkusa ekena maṁ acchādehi ekena Ānandan.”-ti
“Then, Pukkusa, clothe me with one, and Ānanda with the other.” 193
“Evaṁ Bhante,” ti kho Pukkuso Mallaputto Bhagavato paṭissutvā,
“Very well, reverend Sir,” said Pukkusa Mallaputta, and after replying to the Gracious
One
ekena Bhagavantaṁ acchādesi ekena āyasmantaṁ Ānandaṁ.
he clothed the Gracious One with one, and Ānanda with the other.
Atha kho Bhagavā Pukkusaṁ Mallaputtaṁ Dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi
* Then the Gracious One instructed Pukkusa Mallaputta
samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṁsesi.
roused, enthused, and cheered (him) with a talk about the Teaching.
Atha kho Pukkuso Mallaputto,
Then Pukkusa Mallaputta,
Bhagavatā Dhammiyā kathāya sandassito samādapito samuttejito sampahaṁsito
having been instructed, roused, enthused, and cheered by the Gracious One with a talk
about the Teaching,
uṭṭhāyāsanā Bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā, pakkāmi.
after rising from his seat, worshipping and circumambulating the Gracious One,
departed.
Atha kho āyasmā Ānando acirapakkante Pukkuse Mallaputte,
Then, venerable Ānanda, not long after Pukkusa Mallaputta had departed,
taṁ siṅgīvaṇṇaṁ yugamaṭṭhaṁ dhāraṇīyaṁ Bhagavato kāyaṁ upanāmesi,
offered that pair of polished gold-coloured (robes), ready to wear, to the Gracious One,
taṁ Bhagavato kāyaṁ upanāmitaṁ vītaccikaṁ viya khāyati.
and when placed on the Gracious One’s body they appeared to have lost their gleam.
Atha kho āyasmā Ānando Bhagavantaṁ etad-avoca:
Then venerable Ānanda said this to the Gracious One:
“Acchariyaṁ Bhante abbhutaṁ Bhante
“It is wonderful, reverend Sir, it is marvellous, reverend Sir,
193 This is curious as Ānanda had made it a condition of his serving as attendant to the Buddha
that he would not receive robes from him. The Commentary, quite embarrassed, has a weak
explanation of the event, saying that his service to the Buddha had now come to an end.
