Then Venerable Nanda—the Buddha’s cousin on his mother’s side—dressed in nicely pressed and ironed robes, applied eyeshadow, and took a glazed bowl. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:
6

“नna खोkho तेte तं,taṃ नन्द,nan·da पतिरूपंpa·ti·rū·paṃ कुलपुत्तस्सku·la·put·tas·sa सद्धाsad·dhā अगारस्माa·gā·ras·mā अनगारियंa·na·gā·ri·yaṃ पब्बजितस्स,pab·ba·ji·tas·sa यंyaṃ त्वंtvaṃ आकोटितपच्चाकोटितानिā·ko·ṭi·ta·pac·cā·ko·ṭi·tā·ni चीवरानिcī·va·rā·ni पारुपेय्यासि,pā·ru·pey·yā·si अक्खीनिak·khī·ni चca अञ्जेय्यासि,añ·jey·yā·si अच्छञ्चac·chañ·ca पत्तंpat·taṃ धारेय्यासि।dhā·rey·yā·si

“Nanda, as a gentleman who has gone forth out of faith from the lay life to homelessness, it’s not appropriate for you to dress in nicely pressed and ironed robes, apply eyeshadow, and carry a glazed bowl.

It’s appropriate for you to stay in the wilderness, eat only almsfood, wear rag robes, and live without concern for sensual pleasures.”

Then some time later Venerable Nanda stayed in the wilderness, ate only almsfood, wore rag robes, and lived without concern for sensual pleasures.
