The Discourse about the Great Emancipation

The Fifth Chapter for Recitation
Then venerable Ānanda having segregated the Mallas family by
family, made them worship the Gracious One, (saying): “A Malla
named so and so, together with his children, wife, dependents, and
councillors worships the Gracious One's feet with his head.”
Then venerable Ānanda, in this way, during the first watch of the
night, made the Mallas of Kusinārā worship the Gracious One.
[39: Subhadda, the Last Direct Disciple]
Now at that time a wanderer named Subhadda 162 had arrived at
Kusinārā. The wanderer Subhadda heard: “Today, it seems, in the last
watch of the night, will be the ascetic Gotama's attainment of Final
Emancipation.”
Then this occurred to the wanderer Subhadda: “I have heard this from
old, elderly wanderers, who are teachers and teachers' teachers, when
they said: ‘Only occasionally, rarely, do Realised Ones, Worthy Ones,
Perfect Sambuddhas arise in the world.’ Today, in the last watch of the
night, will be the ascetic Gotama's attainment of Final Emancipation.
162 The Commentary says he was a clothed wanderer (channaparibbājaka)
born into a brāhmaṇa family, and gives an interesting story telling how
there were two brothers in a previous life who made offerings (to
Paccekabuddhas, it seems, though it is not stated). The elder brother gave
offerings 9 times from each crop and was reborn as the person who became
Aññāta Koṇḍañña (the first disciple to attain), and the younger one also
gave an offering and was later reborn as Subhadda (the last direct disciple
to attain).
