Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

At that time Venerable Sāriputta was staying in the Magadhan lands near the little village of Nālaka, and he was sick, suffering, gravely ill.

Cundo ca samaṇuddeso āyasmato sāriputtassa upaṭṭhāko hoti.

And the novice Cunda was his carer.

Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto teneva ābādhena parinibbāyi.

Then Venerable Sāriputta was fully extinguished from that sickness.

Then Cunda took Sāriputta’s bowl and robes and set out for Sāvatthī. He went to see Venerable Ānanda at Jeta’s grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
9

“आयस्मा,ā·yas·mā भन्ते,bhan·te सारिपुत्तोsā·ri·put·to परिनिब्बुतो।pa·ri·nib·bu·to

“āyasmā, bhante, sāriputto parinibbuto.

“Sir, Venerable Sāriputta has become fully quenched.

“Reverend Cunda, we should see the Buddha about this matter.

Then Ānanda and Cunda went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
15

“Well, Ānanda, when Sāriputta was fully quenched, did he take away your entire spectrum of ethical conduct, of immersion, of wisdom, of freedom, or of the knowledge and vision of freedom?”

But Venerable Sāriputta was my adviser and counselor. He educated, encouraged, fired up, and inspired me. He never tired of teaching the Dhamma, and he supported his spiritual companions.
