[Worshipping the Realised One]<br />

Atha kho Bhagavā āyasmantaṁ Ānandaṁ āmantesi:<br />

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

“Āyām’ Ānanda yena Hiraññavatiyā nadiyā pārimaṁ tīraṁ,<br />

* “Come Ānanda, let us approach the further shore of the Golden river,<br />

yena Kusinārā Upavattanaṁ Mallānaṁ Sālavanaṁ tenupasaṅkamissāmā.” ti<br />

to Kusinārā, and to the Mallas’ Sal Wood at Upavattana.”<br />

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

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

Atha kho Bhagavā mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ<br />

Then the Gracious One together with a great Community of monks<br />

to Kusinārā, and the Mallas’ Sal Wood at Upavattana,<br />

upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ Ānandaṁ āmantesi:<br />

and after going he addressed venerable Ānanda, (saying):<br />

“Iṅgha me tvaṁ Ānanda antarena<br />

* “Come, Ānanda, prepare<br />

Yamakasālānaṁ uttarasīsakaṁ mañcakaṁ paññāpehi,<br />

a couch with the head facing north between the Twin Sal Trees for me,<br />

kilantosmi Ānanda nipajjissāmī.” ti<br />

I am weary, Ānanda, and will lie down.”<br />

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

“Very well, reverend Sir,” said venerable Ānanda, and after replying to the Gracious<br />

One,<br />

antarena Yamakasālānaṁ uttarasīsakaṁ mañcakaṁ paññāpesi.<br />

he prepared a couch with the head facing north between the Twin Sal Trees.<br />
