At the Cāpāla Shrine
एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा वेसालियं विहरति महावने कूटागारसालायं। अथ खो भगवा पुब्बण्हसमयं निवासेत्वा पत्तचीवरमादाय वेसालिं पिण्डाय पाविसि। वेसालियं पिण्डाय चरित्वा पच्छाभत्तं पिण्डपातपटिक्कन्तो आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं आमन्तेसि: “गण्हाहि, आनन्द, निसीदनं। येन चापालं चेतियं तेनुपसङ्कमिस्साम दिवाविहाराया”ति।
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ. Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya vesāliṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi. Vesāliyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi: “gaṇhāhi, ānanda, nisīdanaṁ. Yena cāpālaṁ cetiyaṁ1 tenupasaṅkamissāma divāvihārāyā”ti.
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof. Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Vesālī for alms. Then, after the meal, on his return from almsround, he addressed Venerable Ānanda: “Ānanda, get your sitting cloth. Let’s go to the Cāpāla shrine for the day’s meditation.”
“एवं, भन्ते”ति खो आयस्मा आनन्दो भगवतो पटिस्सुत्वा निसीदनं आदाय भगवन्तं पिट्ठितो पिट्ठितो अनुबन्धि।
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā nisīdanaṁ ādāya bhagavantaṁ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandhi.
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. Taking his sitting cloth he followed behind the Buddha.
अथ खो भगवा येन चापालं चेतियं तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा पञ्ञत्ते आसने निसीदि। आयस्मापि खो आनन्दो भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नं खो आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं भगवा एतदवोच:
Atha kho bhagavā yena cāpālaṁ cetiyaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. Āyasmāpi kho ānando bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:
Then the Buddha went up to the Cāpāla shrine, and sat down on the seat spread out. Ānanda bowed to the Buddha and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:
“रमणीया, आनन्द, वेसाली, रमणीयं उदेनं चेतियं, रमणीयं गोतमकं चेतियं, रमणीयं सत्तम्बं चेतियं, रमणीयं बहुपुत्तं चेतियं, रमणीयं सारन्ददं चेतियं, रमणीयं चापालं चेतियं। यस्स कस्सचि, आनन्द, चत्तारो इद्धिपादा भाविता बहुलीकता यानीकता वत्थुकता अनुट्ठिता परिचिता सुसमारद्धा, सो आकङ्खमानो कप्पं वा तिट्ठेय्य कप्पावसेसं वा। तथागतस्स खो, आनन्द, चत्तारो इद्धिपादा भाविता बहुलीकता यानीकता वत्थुकता अनुट्ठिता परिचिता सुसमारद्धा। आकङ्खमानो, आनन्द, तथागतो कप्पं वा तिट्ठेय्य कप्पावसेसं वा”ति।
“Ramaṇīyā, ānanda, vesālī, ramaṇīyaṁ udenaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ gotamakaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ sattambaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ bahuputtaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ sārandadaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ cāpālaṁ cetiyaṁ. Yassa kassaci, ānanda, cattāro iddhipādā bhāvitā bahulīkatā yānīkatā vatthukatā anuṭṭhitā paricitā susamāraddhā, so ākaṅkhamāno kappaṁ vā tiṭṭheyya kappāvasesaṁ vā. Tathāgatassa kho, ānanda, cattāro iddhipādā bhāvitā bahulīkatā yānīkatā vatthukatā anuṭṭhitā paricitā susamāraddhā. Ākaṅkhamāno, ānanda, tathāgato kappaṁ vā tiṭṭheyya kappāvasesaṁ vā”ti.
“Ānanda, Vesālī is lovely. And the Udena, Gotamaka, Seven Maidens, Many Sons, Sārandada, and Cāpāla Tree-shrines are all lovely. Whoever has developed and cultivated the four bases of psychic power—made them a vehicle and a basis, kept them up, consolidated them, and properly implemented them—may, if they wish, live for the proper lifespan or what’s left of it. The Realized One has developed and cultivated the four bases of psychic power, made them a vehicle and a basis, kept them up, consolidated them, and properly implemented them. If he wished, the Realized One could live for the proper lifespan or what’s left of it.”
एवम्पि खो आयस्मा आनन्दो भगवता ओळारिके निमित्ते कयिरमाने ओळारिके ओभासे कयिरमाने नासक्खि पटिविज्झितुं; न भगवन्तं याचि: “तिट्ठतु, भन्ते, भगवा कप्पं, तिट्ठतु सुगतो कप्पं बहुजनहिताय बहुजनसुखाय लोकानुकम्पाय अत्थाय हिताय सुखाय देवमनुस्सानन्”ति यथा तं मारेन परियुट्ठितचित्तो।
Evampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavatā oḷārike nimitte kayiramāne oḷārike obhāse kayiramāne nāsakkhi paṭivijjhituṁ; na bhagavantaṁ yāci: “tiṭṭhatu, bhante, bhagavā kappaṁ, tiṭṭhatu sugato kappaṁ2 bahujanahitāya bahujanasukhāya lokānukampāya atthāya hitāya sukhāya devamanussānan”ti yathā taṁ mārena pariyuṭṭhitacitto.
But Ānanda didn’t get it, even though the Buddha dropped such an obvious hint, such a clear sign. He didn’t beg the Buddha, “Sir, may the Blessed One please remain for the eon! May the Holy One please remain for the eon! That would be for the welfare and happiness of the people, out of compassion for the world, for the benefit, welfare, and happiness of gods and humans.” For his mind was as if possessed by Māra.
दुतियम्पि खो भगवा …पे… ततियम्पि खो भगवा आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं आमन्तेसि:
Dutiyampi kho bhagavā …pe… tatiyampi kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi:
For a second time … and for a third time, the Buddha said to Ānanda:
“रमणीया, आनन्द, वेसाली, रमणीयं उदेनं चेतियं, रमणीयं गोतमकं चेतियं, रमणीयं सत्तम्बं चेतियं, रमणीयं बहुपुत्तं चेतियं, रमणीयं सारन्ददं चेतियं, रमणीयं चापालं चेतियं। यस्स कस्सचि, आनन्द, चत्तारो इद्धिपादा भाविता बहुलीकता यानीकता वत्थुकता अनुट्ठिता परिचिता सुसमारद्धा, सो आकङ्खमानो कप्पं वा तिट्ठेय्य कप्पावसेसं वा। तथागतस्स खो, आनन्द, चत्तारो इद्धिपादा भाविता बहुलीकता यानीकता वत्थुकता अनुट्ठिता परिचिता सुसमारद्धा। आकङ्खमानो, आनन्द, तथागतो कप्पं वा तिट्ठेय्य कप्पावसेसं वा”ति।
“ramaṇīyā, ānanda, vesālī, ramaṇīyaṁ udenaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ gotamakaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ sattambaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ bahuputtaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ sārandadaṁ cetiyaṁ, ramaṇīyaṁ cāpālaṁ cetiyaṁ.

Evampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavatā oḷārike nimitte kayiramāne oḷārike obhāse kayiramāne nāsakkhi paṭivijjhituṁ; na bhagavantaṁ yāci: “tiṭṭhatu, bhante, bhagavā kappaṁ, tiṭṭhatu sugato kappaṁ bahujanahitāya bahujanasukhāya lokānukampāya atthāya hitāya sukhāya devamanussānan”ti yathā taṁ mārena pariyuṭṭhitacitto.

अथ खो भगवा आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं आमन्तेसि: “गच्छ खो त्वं, आनन्द, यस्सदानि कालं मञ्ञसी”ति।
Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi: “gaccha kho tvaṁ, ānanda, yassadāni kālaṁ maññasī”ti.
Then the Buddha said to him, “Go now, Ānanda, at your convenience.”
“एवं, भन्ते”ति खो आयस्मा आनन्दो भगवतो पटिस्सुत्वा उट्ठायासना भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा पदक्खिणं कत्वा अविदूरे अञ्ञतरस्मिं रुक्खमूले निसीदि।
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā avidūre aññatarasmiṁ rukkhamūle nisīdi.
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. He rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before sitting at the root of a tree close by.
अथ खो मारो पापिमा, अचिरपक्कन्ते आयस्मन्ते आनन्दे, येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Atha kho māro pāpimā, acirapakkante āyasmante ānande, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
And then, not long after Ānanda had left, Māra the Wicked went up to the the Buddha and said to him:
“परिनिब्बातु दानि, भन्ते, भगवा, परिनिब्बातु दानि सुगतो। परिनिब्बानकालो दानि, भन्ते, भगवतो। भासिता खो पनेसा, भन्ते, भगवता वाचा: ‘न तावाहं, पापिम, परिनिब्बायिस्सामि याव मे भिक्खू न सावका भविस्सन्ति वियत्ता विनीता विसारदा बहुस्सुता धम्मधरा धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्ना सामीचिप्पटिपन्ना अनुधम्मचारिनो, सकं आचरियकं उग्गहेत्वा आचिक्खिस्सन्ति देसेस्सन्ति पञ्ञपेस्सन्ति पट्ठपेस्सन्ति विवरिस्सन्ति विभजिस्सन्ति उत्तानीकरिस्सन्ति, उप्पन्नं परप्पवादं सहधम्मेन सुनिग्गहितं निग्गहेत्वा सप्पाटिहारियं धम्मं देसेस्सन्तीऽति।

“Sir, may the Blessed One now become fully extinguished! May the Holy One now become fully extinguished! Now is the time for the Buddha to become fully extinguished. Sir, you once made this statement: ‘Wicked One, I shall not become fully extinguished until I have monk disciples who are competent, educated, assured, learned, have memorized the teachings, and practice in line with the teachings. Not until they practice properly, living in line with the teaching. Not until they’ve learned their own tradition, and explain, teach, assert, establish, disclose, analyze, and make it clear. Not until they can legitimately and completely refute the doctrines of others that come up, and teach with a demonstrable basis.’

May the Blessed One now become fully extinguished! May the Holy One now become fully extinguished! Now is the time for the Buddha to become fully extinguished.”
एवं वुत्ते, भगवा मारं पापिमन्तं एतदवोच: “अप्पोस्सुक्को त्वं, पापिम, होहि। न चिरं तथागतस्स परिनिब्बानं भविस्सति। इतो तिण्णं मासानं अच्चयेन तथागतो परिनिब्बायिस्सती”ति।
Evaṁ vutte, bhagavā māraṁ pāpimantaṁ etadavoca: “appossukko tvaṁ, pāpima, hohi. Na ciraṁ3 tathāgatassa parinibbānaṁ bhavissati. Ito tiṇṇaṁ māsānaṁ accayena tathāgato parinibbāyissatī”ti.
When this was said, the Buddha said to Māra, “Relax, Wicked One. The final Nibbana of the Realized One will be soon. Three months from now the Realized One will finally be extinguished.”
अथ खो भगवा चापाले चेतिये सतो सम्पजानो आयुसङ्खारं ओस्सजि। ओस्सट्ठे च भगवता आयुसङ्खारे महाभूमिचालो अहोसि भिंसनको लोमहंसो, देवदुन्दुभियो च फलिंसु। अथ खो भगवा एतमत्थं विदित्वा तायं वेलायं इमं उदानं उदानेसि:

So at the Cāpāla Tree-shrine the Buddha, mindful and aware, surrendered the life force. When he did so there was a great earthquake, awe-inspiring and hair-raising, and thunder cracked the sky. Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:
“तुलमतुलञ्च सम्भवं, भवसङ्खारमवस्सजि मुनि; अज्झत्तरतो समाहितो, अभिन्दि कवचमिवत्तसम्भवन्”ति।
“Tulamatulañca sambhavaṁ, Bhavasaṅkhāramavassaji muni; Ajjhattarato samāhito, Abhindi kavacamivattasambhavan”ti.
“Comparing the incomparable
with the creation of prolonged life, the sage surrendered the life force. Happy inside, serene, he shattered self-creation like a suit of armor.”
