The Second Chapter for Recitation - 81<br />

yathāmittaṁ yathāsandiṭṭhaṁ yathāsambhattaṁ Vassaṁ upagacchiṁsu.<br />

(living) like friends, like companions, like comrades.<br />

Bhagavā pana tattheva Beluvagāmake Vassaṁ upagacchi.<br />

But the Gracious One spent the Rains Retreat right there at the little village of Beluva.<br />

Atha kho Bhagavato Vassūpagatassa kharo ābādho uppajji,<br />

Then while dwelling for the Rains Retreat, a heavy affliction arose for the Gracious<br />

One,<br />

bāḷhā vedanā vattanti maraṇantikā.<br />

and continued with strong and death-like feelings.<br />

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

There the Gracious One dwelt mindfully, with full awareness, and without being<br />

troubled.<br />

Atha kho Bhagavato etad-ahosi:<br />

Then this occurred to the Gracious One:<br />

“Na kho me taṁ paṭirūpaṁ yohaṁ anāmantetvā upaṭṭhāke,<br />

“It is not suitable that I, without having addressed my attendants,<br />

anapaloketvā Bhikkhusaṅghaṁ parinibbāyeyyaṁ.<br />

without having given notice to the Community of monks, should attain Final<br />

Emancipation.<br />

Yannūnāhaṁ imaṁ ābādhaṁ viriyena paṭippaṇāmetvā,<br />

Having energetically dismissed this affliction,<br />

jīvitasaṅkhāraṁ adhiṭṭhāya vihareyyan.”-ti<br />

I could live on after determining the lifespan.”
