Atha kho āyasmā ānando acirapakkantassa bhagavato yenāyasmā upavāṇo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ upavāṇaṁ etadavoca:   Then, not long after the Buddha had left, Venerable Ānanda went to Venerable Upavāna and said to him,  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā sāriputtena saddhiṁ sammodi.   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to Venerable Sāriputta, and exchanged greetings with him.

“Well, Venerable Ānanda, you’re very learned.  
Āyasmā ānando etadavoca:  
Venerable Ānanda said this:  
‘āyasmā ānando atthakusalo dhammakusalo byañjanakusalo niruttikusalo pubbāparakusalo’”ti.  
‘Reverend Ānanda is skilled in the meaning, skilled in the teaching, skilled in terminology, skilled in phrasing, and skilled in sequence.’” 

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Kosambī, in Ghosita’s Monastery.  
Atha kho āyasmā bhaddaji yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi.  
Then Venerable Bhaddaji went up to Venerable Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.

Kahaṁ ānando?  
and Ānanda?  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda said to Venerable Udāyī,  

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.   “Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.

Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena migasālāya upāsikāya nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.   Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the home of the laywoman Migasālā, where he sat on the seat spread out.  
Atha kho migasālā upāsikā yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnā kho migasālā upāsikā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
Then the laywoman Migasālā went up to Ānanda, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando migasālāya upāsikāya nivesane piṇḍapātaṁ gahetvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.  
Then Ānanda, after receiving almsfood at Migasālā’s home, rose from his seat and left.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Well, Venerable Ānanda, you’re very learned.  
Āyasmā ānando etadavoca:  
Ānanda said this:

For Ānanda memorizes the teaching …  
Āyasmā ānando yathāsutaṁ yathāpariyattaṁ dhammaṁ vitthārena paresaṁ deseti, āyasmā ānando yathāsutaṁ yathāpariyattaṁ dhammaṁ vitthārena paresaṁ vāceti, āyasmā ānando yathāsutaṁ yathāpariyattaṁ dhammaṁ vitthārena sajjhāyaṁ karoti, āyasmā ānando yathāsutaṁ yathāpariyattaṁ dhammaṁ cetasā anuvitakketi anuvicāreti manasānupekkhati.

Tatridaṁ, bhante, pūraṇena kassapena paramasukkābhijāti paññattā, nando vaccho kiso saṅkicco makkhali gosālo.  
And the ultimate white class of rebirth consists of Nanda Vaccha, Kisa Saṅkicca, and the bamboo-staffed ascetic Gosāla.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando sambahulehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ yena aciravatī nadī tenupasaṅkami gattāni parisiñcituṁ.   Then Venerable Ānanda together with several mendicants went to the Aciravati River to bathe.  
Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
Then a certain mendicant went up to Venerable Ānanda, and said to him,  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ānando bhagavato piṭṭhito ṭhito hoti bhagavantaṁ bījayamāno.   Now at that time Venerable Ānanda was standing behind the Buddha fanning him.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kosambiṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.   Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kosambī for alms.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena aññatitthiyānaṁ paribbājakānaṁ ārāmo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā tehi aññatitthiyehi paribbājakehi saddhiṁ sammodi.

Atha kho āyasmā ānando tesaṁ aññatitthiyānaṁ paribbājakānaṁ bhāsitaṁ neva abhinandi nappaṭikkosi.  
Ānanda neither approved nor dismissed that statement of the wanderers of other religions.

Then Ānanda wandered for alms in Kosambī. After the meal, on his return from almsround, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened, adding:  

Evaṁ vutte āyasmā ānando uggatasarīraṁ brāhmaṇaṁ etadavoca:   When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to Uggatasarīra,  

Idha me, bhante, nando nāma ekaputtako piyo manāpo.   I had an only son called Nanda who I loved dearly.  

Kimaññatra, bhikkhave, nando indriyesu guttadvāro, bhojane mattaññū, jāgariyaṁ anuyutto, satisampajaññena samannāgato, yehi nando sakkoti paripuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carituṁ.   How could he live the full and pure spiritual life unless he guards the sense doors, eats in moderation, is dedicated to wakefulness, and has mindfulness and situational awareness?  
Sace, bhikkhave, nandassa puratthimā disā āloketabbā hoti, sabbaṁ cetasā samannāharitvā nando puratthimaṁ disaṁ āloketi:  
If he has to look to the east, he wholeheartedly concentrates before looking, thinking:

If he has to survey the intermediate directions, he wholeheartedly concentrates before looking, thinking:  
Idha, bhikkhave, nando paṭisaṅkhā yoniso āhāraṁ āhāreti:  
Nanda reflects rationally on the food he eats:  
Idha, bhikkhave, nando divasaṁ caṅkamena nisajjāya āvaraṇīyehi dhammehi cittaṁ parisodheti;  
Nanda practices walking and sitting meditation by day, purifying his mind from obstacles.  
Kimaññatra, bhikkhave, nando indriyesu guttadvāro, bhojane mattaññū, jāgariyaṁ anuyutto, satisampajaññena samannāgato, yehi nando sakkoti paripuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ caritun”ti.  
How could Nanda live the full and pure spiritual life unless he guards the sense doors, eats in moderation, is dedicated to wakefulness, and has mindfulness and situational awareness?”

Atha kho āyasmā ānando abhikkantāya rattiyā, nikkhante paṭhame yāme, uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṁsaṁ uttarāsaṅgaṁ karitvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṁ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   And then, as the night was getting late, in the first watch of the night, Venerable Ānanda got up from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his joined palms toward the Buddha and said,  
Dutiyampi kho āyasmā ānando abhikkantāya rattiyā, nikkhante majjhime yāme, uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṁsaṁ uttarāsaṅgaṁ karitvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṁ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
For a second time, as the night was getting late, in the middle watch of the night, Ānanda got up from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his joined palms toward the Buddha and said,  
Tatiyampi kho āyasmā ānando abhikkantāya rattiyā, nikkhante pacchime yāme, uddhaste aruṇe, nandimukhiyā rattiyā uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṁsaṁ uttarāsaṅgaṁ karitvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṁ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
For a third time, as the night was getting late, in the last watch of the night, as dawn stirred, bringing joy to the night, Ānanda got up from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his joined palms toward the Buddha and said,  

Addasā kho āyasmā ānando mahāpajāpatiṁ gotamiṁ sūnehi pādehi rajokiṇṇena gattena dukkhiṁ dummanaṁ assumukhiṁ rudamānaṁ bahidvārakoṭṭhake ṭhitaṁ.   Venerable Ānanda saw her standing there,  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  
tatiyampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
For a third time, Ānanda said to the Buddha:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato santike ime aṭṭha garudhamme uggahetvā yena mahāpajāpatī gotamī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mahāpajāpatiṁ gotamiṁ etadavoca:  
Then Ānanda, having learned these eight principles of respect from the Buddha himself, went to Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī and said:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha:  

“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.  
Evampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavatā oḷārike nimitte kayiramāne oḷārike obhāse kayiramāne nāsakkhi paṭivijjhituṁ;  
But Ānanda didn’t get it, even though the Buddha dropped such an obvious hint, such a clear sign.  
Evampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavatā oḷārike nimitte kayiramāne oḷārike obhāse kayiramāne nāsakkhi paṭivijjhituṁ;  
But Ānanda didn’t get it, even though the Buddha dropped such an obvious hint, such a clear sign.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā bhagavato 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.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ca mahāmoggallāno āyasmā ca ānando avāpuraṇaṁ ādāya vihāre āhiṇḍanti:   Now at that time the venerables Mahāmoggallāna and Ānanda took a key and went from dwelling to dwelling, saying:  

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Kosambī, in Ghosita’s Monastery.  
Tatra kho āyasmā ānando bhikkhū āmantesi:  
There Ānanda addressed the mendicants:  
Āyasmā ānando etadavoca:  
Ānanda said this:  

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.   “Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
Atha kho tapusso gahapati yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho tapusso gahapati āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
The householder Tapussa went up to Venerable Ānanda, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando tapussena gahapatinā saddhiṁ yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Ānanda together with Tapussa went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. Ānanda told him what had happened.  
Ānando brāhmaṇā devo,  
" 

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Kosambī, in Ghosita’s Monastery.  
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi.  
Then Venerable Udāyī went up to Venerable Ānanda and exchanged greetings with him.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  

Tatra kho āyasmā ānando bhikkhū āmantesi …pe…   There Venerable Ānanda addressed the mendicants …  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā sāriputtena saddhiṁ sammodi.   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to Venerable Sāriputta, and exchanged greetings with him.  
Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ etadavoca:  
When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to Sāriputta:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha:  

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā girimānando ābādhiko hoti dukkhito bāḷhagilāno.   Now at that time Venerable Girimānanda was sick, suffering, gravely ill.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  
“Āyasmā, bhante, girimānando ābādhiko hoti dukkhito bāḷhagilāno.  
“Sir, Venerable Girimānanda is sick, suffering, gravely ill.  
Sādhu, bhante, bhagavā yenāyasmā girimānando tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṁ upādāyā”ti.  
Sir, please go to Venerable Girimānanda out of compassion.”  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato santike imā dasa saññā uggahetvā yenāyasmā girimānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmato girimānandassa imā dasa saññā abhāsi.  
Then Ānanda, having learned these ten perceptions from the Buddha himself, went to Girimānanda and recited them.  
Vuṭṭhahi cāyasmā girimānando tamhā ābādhā. Tathā pahīno ca panāyasmato girimānandassa so ābādho ahosīti.  
And that’s how he recovered from that illness.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena migasālāya upāsikāya nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.   Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the home of the laywoman Migasālā, where he sat on the seat spread out.  
Atha kho migasālā upāsikā yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnā kho migasālā upāsikā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
Then the laywoman Migasālā went up to Ānanda, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando migasālāya upāsikāya nivesane piṇḍapātaṁ gahetvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.  
Then Ānanda, after receiving almsfood at Migasālā’s home, rose from his seat and left.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then after the meal, on his return from almsround, Ānanda went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:  

Vāhanānando puṇṇiyo,    

Atha kho āyasmā ānando uttiyaṁ paribbājakaṁ etadavoca:   Then Ānanda said to the wanderer Uttiya,  

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando rājagahe viharati tapodārāme.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Rājagaha in the Hot Springs Monastery.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando rattiyā paccūsasamayaṁ paccuṭṭhāya yena tapodā tenupasaṅkami gattāni parisiñcituṁ.  
Then Ānanda rose at the crack of dawn and went to the hot springs to bathe.  
“‘Ānando’ti kho me, āvuso, nāmaṁ.  
“Reverend, my name is Ānanda.  
‘Ānando’ti ca pana maṁ sabrahmacārī jānantī”ti.  
And that’s how I’m known among my spiritual companions.”  
‘āyasmā ānando’ti.  
Venerable Ānanda!  
‘ayaṁ āyasmā ānando’ti, ettakampi no nappaṭibhāyeyya.

Khamatu ca me āyasmā ānando”ti.  
May Venerable Ānanda please forgive me.” 

“ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ.   “This Venerable Ānanda is praised by the Buddha and esteemed by his sensible spiritual companions.  
Pahoti cāyasmā ānando imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajituṁ.  
He is capable of explaining in detail the meaning of this brief passage for recitation given by the Buddha.  
Yannūna mayaṁ yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkameyyāma; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etamatthaṁ paṭipuccheyyāma.  
Let’s go to him, and ask him about this matter.

As he answers, so we’ll remember it.”  
Atha kho te bhikkhū yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodiṁsu.  
Then those mendicants went to Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.  
‘ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ.  
 
Pahoti cāyasmā ānando imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajituṁ.

“May Venerable Ānanda please explain this.”  
Api cāyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ.  
Still, Venerable Ānanda is praised by the Buddha and esteemed by his sensible spiritual companions.  
Pahoti cāyasmā ānando imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajituṁ.  
You are capable of explaining in detail the meaning of this brief passage for recitation given by the Buddha.  
Vibhajatāyasmā ānando agaruṁ katvā”ti.  
Please explain this, if it’s no trouble.”  
Athāyasmā ānando etadavoca:  
Ānanda said this:  
‘ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ.  
 
Pahoti cāyasmā ānando imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajituṁ.

Atha kho mayaṁ, bhante, yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamimhā; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etamatthaṁ apucchimhā.  
“Sir, we went to Ānanda and asked him about this matter.  
Paṇḍito, bhikkhave, ānando.  
Ānanda is astute,  
Mahāpañño, bhikkhave, ānando.  
he has great wisdom.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  

Tatra kho āyasmā ānando bhikkhū āmantesi …pe…   There Venerable Ānanda addressed the mendicants …  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā sāriputtena saddhiṁ sammodi.  
And then Ānanda approved and agreed with what the Buddha said. He got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right. Then he went up to Venerable Sāriputta, and exchanged greetings with him.  
Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ etadavoca:  
When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to Sāriputta:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando vesāliyaṁ viharati beluvagāmake.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Vesālī in the little village of Beluva.  
“kahaṁ nu kho, bhante, āyasmā ānando etarahi viharati?  
“Sir, where is Venerable Ānanda now staying?  
“Eso, gahapati, āyasmā ānando vesāliyaṁ viharati beluvagāmake”ti.  
“Householder, Venerable Ānanda is staying near Vesālī in the little village of Beluva.”  
Atha kho dasamo gahapati aṭṭhakanāgaro pāṭaliputte taṁ karaṇīyaṁ tīretvā yena vesālī beluvagāmako yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho dasamo gahapati aṭṭhakanāgaro āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
Then the householder Dasama, having concluded his business there, went to the little village of Beluva in Vesālī to see Ānanda. He bowed, sat down to one side, and said to Ānanda:  

Mamaṁ vā, bhikkhave, pare vaṇṇaṁ bhāseyyuṁ, dhammassa vā vaṇṇaṁ bhāseyyuṁ, saṅghassa vā vaṇṇaṁ bhāseyyuṁ, tatra tumhehi na ānando na somanassaṁ na cetaso uppilāvitattaṁ karaṇīyaṁ.   Когда же другие восхваляют меня, или восхваляют дхамму, или восхваляют сангху, то вы, монахи, не должны испытывать ни радости, ни удовлетворения, ни веселья в сердце.  
If others praise me, the teaching, or the Saṅgha, don’t make yourselves thrilled, elated, and excited.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Когда это было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
When he had spoken, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  

ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme aciraparinibbute bhagavati.   Однажды, вскоре после полного успокоения Благостного, достопочтенный Ананда остановился в Саваттхи, в Джетаване, в [монашеской] роще Анатхапиндики.  
At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. It was not long after the Buddha had become fully extinguished.  
“ehi tvaṁ, māṇavaka, yena samaṇo ānando tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena samaṇaṁ ānandaṁ appābādhaṁ appātaṅkaṁ lahuṭṭhānaṁ balaṁ phāsuvihāraṁ puccha:  
«Иди, юноша, приблизься к отшельнику Ананде и, приблизившись, спроси от моего имени отшельника Ананду, прошла ли [его] болезнь, прошел ли недуг, хорошо ли здоровье, как силы, благополучно ли самочувствие:  
“Here, student, go to the ascetic Ānanda and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Ask him if he is healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably.  
‘sādhu kira bhavaṁ ānando yena subhassa māṇavassa todeyyaputtassa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṁ upādāyā’”ti.  
„Право же, хорошо будет, если досточтимый Ананда окажет милость и приблизится к дому юного Субхи, сына Тодейи“».  
‘Sir, please visit the student Subha, Todeyya’s son, at his home out of compassion.’”  
“Evaṁ, bho”ti kho so māṇavako subhassa māṇavassa todeyyaputtassa paṭissutvā yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi.  
«Хорошо, почтенный», — согласился юноша с юным Субхой, сыном Тодейи, приблизился к достопочтенному Ананде; приблизившись, он обменялся с достопочтенным Анандой дружескими, дружелюбными словами  
“Yes, sir,” replied the student, and did as he was asked.  
‘sādhu kira bhavaṁ ānando yena subhassa māṇavassa todeyyaputtassa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṁ upādāyā’”ti.  
„Право же, хорошо будет, если досточтимый Ананда окажет милость и приблизится к дому юного Субхи, сына Тодейи“».  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando taṁ māṇavakaṁ etadavoca:  
Когда так было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда сказал этому юноше:  
When he had spoken, Venerable Ānanda said to him,  
“sādhu kira bhavaṁ ānando yena subhassa māṇavassa todeyyaputtassa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṁ upādāyā”’ti.  
‘Право же, хорошо будет, если досточтимый Ананда окажет милость и приблизится к дому юного Субхи, сына Тодейи’“.  
Evaṁ vutte, bho, samaṇo ānando maṁ etadavoca:  
Когда, почтенный, так было сказано, отшельник Ананда сказал мне:  
Ettāvatāpi kho, bho, katameva etaṁ, yato kho so bhavaṁ ānando okāsamakāsi svātanāyapi upasaṅkamanāyā”ti.  
И вот, почтенный, сделано так, что этот досточтимый Ананда дал возможность [надеяться на его] завтрашнее приближение».  
“This much, sir, I managed to do. At least Master Ānanda will take the opportunity to visit tomorrow.”  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando tassā rattiyā accayena pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya cetakena bhikkhunā pacchāsamaṇena yena subhassa māṇavassa todeyyaputtassa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. Atha kho subho māṇavo todeyyaputto yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi.  
И наутро, когда прошла эта ночь, достопочтенный Ананда оделся, взял сосуд для подаяний и верхнюю одежду, вместе со следующим за ним отшельником, монахом Четакой, приблизился к жилищу юного Субхи, сына Тодейи, и, приблизившись, сел на предложенное сиденье. А юный Субха, сын Тодейи, приблизился к достопочтенному Ананде; приблизившись, он обменялся с достопочтенным Анандой дружескими, дружелюбными словами.  
Then when the night had passed, Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went with Venerable Cetaka as his second monk to Subha’s home, where he sat on the seat spread out. Then Subha went up to Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.  
“bhavañhi ānando tassa bhoto gotamassa dīgharattaṁ upaṭṭhāko santikāvacaro samīpacārī.  
«Ведь досточтимый Ананда долгое время находился вблизи досточтимого Готамы, прислуживая [ему] и пребывая рядом.  
“Master Ānanda, you were Master Gotama’s attendant. You were close to him, living in his presence.  
Bhavametaṁ ānando jāneyya, yesaṁ so bhavaṁ gotamo dhammānaṁ vaṇṇavādī ahosi, yattha ca imaṁ janataṁ samādapesi nivesesi patiṭṭhāpesi.  
И досточтимый Ананда должен знать, какие вещи хвалил досточтимый Готама, какими он побуждал, в каких наставлял и утверждал людей.  
You ought to know what things Master Gotama praised, and in which he encouraged, settled, and grounded all these people.  
Atha ca pana bhavaṁ ānando evamāha:  
Но ведь досточтимый Ананда сказал так:  
And yet you say:  
Atha ca pana bhavaṁ ānando evamāha:  
Но ведь досточтимый Ананда сказал так:  
And yet you say:  
Upāsakaṁ maṁ bhavaṁ ānando dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṁ saraṇaṁ gatan”ti.  
Путь же досточтимый Ананда примет меня как преданного мирянина, отныне и на всю жизнь нашедшего [здесь] прибежище».  
From this day forth, may Master Ānanda remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.” 

Mayhaṁ, bhikkhave, etarahi ānando nāma bhikkhu upaṭṭhāko ahosi aggupaṭṭhāko.   У меня теперь, монахи, прислужник, главный прислужник, монах Ананда.  
I have as chief attendant a mendicant named Ānanda.

У Благостного, досточтимый, — прислужник, главный прислужник, монах по имени Ананда.  
You have as chief attendant a mendicant named Ānanda.  
Bhagavato, mārisā, ānando nāma bhikkhu upaṭṭhāko aggupaṭṭhāko ahosi.  
У Благостного, досточтимый, — прислужник, главный прислужник, монах по имени Ананда.  
 

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami, upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Однажды почтенный Ананда подошёл к Благословенному, подойдя и выразив почтение, он сел в одной стороне от Благословенного. Сидя в одной стороне от него почтенный Ананда сказал Благословенному:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Радостный, почтенный Ананда восхитился сказанным Благословенным.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. 

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ānando bhagavato piṭṭhito ṭhito hoti bhagavantaṁ bījayamāno.   А в это самое время достопочтенный Ананда, стоя позади Благостного, обмахивал Благостного.  
Now at that time Venerable Ānanda was standing behind the Buddha fanning him.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā yāvatikā bhikkhū rājagahaṁ upanissāya viharanti, te sabbe upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ sannipātetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда, и вот, созвав в обитель для собраний всех тех монахов, которые находились в окрестностях Раджагахи, он приблизился к Благостному; приблизившись, приветствовал Благостного и стал в стороне. И вот, стоя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. He did what the Buddha asked. Then he went back, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.

«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда приблизился к Благостному; приблизившись, он приветствовал Благостного и сел в стороне. И, сидя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказали Благостному:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда приблизился к Благостному; приблизившись, он приветствовал Благостного и сел в стороне. И, сидя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā nisīdanaṁ ādāya bhagavantaṁ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandhi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда и, взяв циновку, шаг за шагом последовал за Благостным.  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. Taking his sitting cloth he followed behind the Buddha.  
Āyasmāpi kho ānando bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.  
А достопочтенный Ананда, приветствовав Благостного, сел в стороне.  
Ānanda bowed to the Buddha and sat down to one side.  
Evampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavatā oḷārike nimitte kayiramāne oḷārike obhāse kayiramāne nāsakkhi paṭivijjhituṁ;  
3.4. И хотя Благостный сделал понятное указание, сделал понятное объяснение, достопочтенный Ананда не смог проникнуть [в него]  
But Ānanda didn’t get it, even though the Buddha dropped such an obvious hint, such a clear sign.  
Evampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavatā oḷārike nimitte kayiramāne oḷārike obhāse kayiramāne nāsakkhi paṭivijjhituṁ;  
И хотя Благостный сделал понятное указание, сделал понятное объяснение, достопочтенный Ананда не смог проникнуть [в него]  
But Ānanda didn’t get it, even though the Buddha dropped such an obvious hint, such a clear sign.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā avidūre aññatarasmiṁ rukkhamūle nisīdi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда, и, поднявшись с сиденья, он приветствовал Благостного, обошел [его] с правой стороны и уселся неподалеку у подножия другого дерева.  
“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.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami,  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда приблизился к Благостному;  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha,  
ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И, сидя в стороне достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
and said to him,  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Когда так было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда сказал Благостному:  
When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
Dutiyampi kho āyasmā ānando …pe…  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда во второй раз сказал Благостному …  
For a second time …  
tatiyampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда в третий раз сказал Благостному:  
For a third time, Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā yāvatikā bhikkhū vesāliṁ upanissāya viharanti, te sabbe upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ sannipātetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда, и вот, созвав в обитель для собраний всех тех монахов, которые находились в окрестностях Весали, он приблизился к Благостному; приблизившись, приветствовал Благостного и стал в стороне. И вот, стоя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. He did what the Buddha asked, went up to him, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā catugguṇaṁ saṅghāṭiṁ paññapesi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда и подстелил сложенную вчетверо ткань.  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda, and did as he was asked.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И когда так было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда сказал Благостному:  
When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
Dutiyampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда во второй раз сказал Благостному:  
and for a second time Ānanda suggested going to the Kakutthā river.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā pattaṁ gahetvā yena sā nadikā tenupasaṅkami.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда, взял сосуд и приблизился к этому ручью.  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. Taking his bowl he went to the river.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando acirapakkante pukkuse mallaputte taṁ siṅgīvaṇṇaṁ yugamaṭṭhaṁ dhāraṇīyaṁ bhagavato kāyaṁ upanāmesi.  
И вот, вскоре после того как Пуккуса Маллапутта удалился, достопочтенный Ананда одел тело Благостного в эту пару чистых златоцветных [одежд], пригодных для ношения,  
Then, not long after Pukkusa had left, Ānanda placed the pair of garments the color of rose-gold by the Buddha’s body.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И тогда достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
Then Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā antarena yamakasālānaṁ uttarasīsakaṁ mañcakaṁ paññapesi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда и постелил между парой деревьев сала ложе изголовьем к северу.  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda, and did as he was asked.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И тогда достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
Then Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando vihāraṁ pavisitvā kapisīsaṁ ālambitvā rodamāno aṭṭhāsi:  
И тогда достопочтенный Ананда вошел в обитель, оперся о притолоку двери и остановился [там], плача:  
Then Venerable Ānanda entered a building, and stood there leaning against the door-jamb and crying,  
“kahaṁ nu kho, bhikkhave, ānando”ti?  
«Где же, монахи, Ананда?»  
“Mendicants, where is Ānanda?”  
“Eso, bhante, āyasmā ānando vihāraṁ pavisitvā kapisīsaṁ ālambitvā rodamāno ṭhito:  
«Господин, этот достопочтенный Ананда вошел в обитель, оперся о притолоку двери и остановился там, плача:  
“Sir, Ānanda has entered a dwelling, and stands there leaning against the door-jamb and crying:  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho so bhikkhu bhagavato paṭissutvā yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным монах, приблизился к достопочтенному Ананде и, приблизившись, так сказал достопочтенному Ананде:  
“Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to Ānanda and said to him,  
“Evamāvuso”ti kho āyasmā ānando tassa bhikkhuno paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:  
«Хорошо, друг», — согласился с этим монахом Ананда, приблизился к Благостному и, приблизившись, приветствовал Благостного и сел в стороне. И вот Благостный сказал так сидящему в стороне достопочтенному Ананде:  
“Yes, reverend,” Ānanda replied. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:  
“yepi te, bhikkhave, ahesuṁ atītamaddhānaṁ arahanto sammāsambuddhā, tesampi bhagavantānaṁ etapparamāyeva upaṭṭhākā ahesuṁ, seyyathāpi mayhaṁ ānando.  
«У тех Благостных, монахи, которые были в прошлом времени, — архатов, всецело просветленных — были такие же превосходные прислужники, как у меня — Ананда.  
“The Buddhas of the past or the future have attendants who are no better than Ānanda is for me.  
Yepi te, bhikkhave, bhavissanti anāgatamaddhānaṁ arahanto sammāsambuddhā, tesampi bhagavantānaṁ etapparamāyeva upaṭṭhākā bhavissanti, seyyathāpi mayhaṁ ānando.  
И у тех Благостных, монахи, которые будут в будущем времени, — архатов, всецело просветленных — будут такие же превосходные прислужники, как у меня — Ананда.  
Paṇḍito, bhikkhave, ānando;  
Ананда мудр, монахи,  
Ānanda is astute,  
medhāvī, bhikkhave, ānando.  
и он знает.  
he is intelligent.  
Tatra ce ānando dhammaṁ bhāsati, bhāsitenapi sā attamanā hoti.  
и когда Ананда проповедует там истину, оно испытывает удовлетворение и от проповеди.  
and uplifted by hearing him speak.  
Atittāva, bhikkhave, bhikkhuparisā hoti, atha kho ānando tuṇhī hoti.  
И когда, монахи, Ананда умолкает, собрание монахов бывает недовольно.  
And when he falls silent, they’ve never had enough.  
Tatra ce ānando dhammaṁ bhāsati, bhāsitenapi sā attamanā hoti.  
и когда Ананда проповедует там истину, оно испытывает удовлетворение и от проповеди,  
Atittāva, bhikkhave, bhikkhunīparisā hoti, atha kho ānando tuṇhī hoti.  
и когда, монахи, Ананда умолкает, собрание монахинь бывает недовольно.  
Tatra ce ānando dhammaṁ bhāsati, bhāsitenapi sā attamanā hoti.  
и когда Ананда проповедует там истину, оно испытывает удовлетворение и от проповеди,  
Atittāva, bhikkhave, upāsakaparisā hoti, atha kho ānando tuṇhī hoti.  
и когда, монахи, Ананда умолкает, собрание праведных мирян бывает недовольно.  
Tatra ce ānando dhammaṁ bhāsati, bhāsitenapi sā attamanā hoti.  
и когда Ананда проповедует там истину, оно испытывает удовлетворение и от проповеди,  
and uplifted by hearing him speak.  
Atittāva, bhikkhave, upāsikāparisā hoti, atha kho ānando tuṇhī hoti.  
и когда, монахи, Ананда умолкает, собрание преданных мирянок бывает недовольно.  
And when he falls silent, they’ve never had enough.  
Tatra ce ānando dhammaṁ bhāsati, bhāsitenapi sā attamanā hoti.  
и когда Ананда проповедует там истину, оно испытывает удовлетворение и от проповеди,  
Atha kho ānando tuṇhī hoti.  
собрание монахов бывает недовольно.  
Tatra ce ānando dhammaṁ bhāsati, bhāsitenapi sā attamanā hoti.  
и когда Ананда проповедует там истину, оно испытывает удовлетворение и от проповеди,  
Atha kho ānando tuṇhī hoti.  
собрание преданных мирянок бывает недовольно.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Когда так было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда сказал Благостному:  
When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha:  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissutvā nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya attadutiyo kusināraṁ pāvisi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда, оделся, взял сосуд для подаяний и верхнюю одежду и вместе с другим [монахом] вошел в Кусинару.  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. Then he robed up and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kusinārā with a companion.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena kosinārakānaṁ mallānaṁ sandhāgāraṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā kosinārakānaṁ mallānaṁ ārocesi:  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда приблизился к месту собрания кусинарийских маллов и, приблизившись, передал кусинарийским маллам:  
Ānanda went up to them, and announced:  
Atha kho mallā ca mallaputtā ca mallasuṇisā ca mallapajāpatiyo ca aghāvino dummanā cetodukkhasamappitā yena upavattanaṁ mallānaṁ sālavanaṁ yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu.  
И тогда маллы, и дети маллов, и невестки маллов, и жены маллов, грустя, горюя, охваченные печалью в сердце, приблизились к Упаваттане — садовой роще маллов, к достопочтенному Ананде.  
Then the Mallas, their sons, daughters-in-law, and wives, distraught, saddened, and grief-stricken went to the Mallian sal grove at Upavattana and approached Ānanda.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando kosinārake malle kulaparivattaso kulaparivattaso ṭhapetvā bhagavantaṁ vandāpesi:  
И тогда достопочтенный Ананда поставил кусинарийских маллов по семьям, одну за другой, и разрешил им поклониться Благостному, [говоря при этом]:  
And so that’s what he did.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando etena upāyena paṭhameneva yāmena kosinārake malle bhagavantaṁ vandāpesi.  
И вот таким образом достопочтенный Ананда в первую же [ночную] стражу разрешил [всем] кусинарийским маллам поклониться Благостному.  
So by this means Ānanda got the Mallas to finish paying homage to the Buddha in the first watch of the night.  
Atha kho subhaddo paribbājako yena upavattanaṁ mallānaṁ sālavanaṁ, yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
И вот странствующий аскет Субхадда приблизился к Упаваттане — садовой роще маллов, к достопочтенному Ананде и сказал так:  
Then Subhadda went to the Mallian sal grove at Upavattana, approached Ānanda, and said to him,  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando subhaddaṁ paribbājakaṁ etadavoca:  
Когда так было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда сказал странствующему аскету Субхадде:  
When he had spoken, Ānanda said,  
Tatiyampi kho āyasmā ānando subhaddaṁ paribbājakaṁ etadavoca:  
Тогда достопочтенный Ананда в третий раз сказал странствующему аскету Субхадде:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando subhaddaṁ paribbājakaṁ etadavoca:  
И тогда достопочтенный Ананда так сказал странствующему аскету Субхадде:  
So Ānanda said to the wanderer Subhadda,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с Благостным достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И тогда достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
Then Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ anuruddhaṁ etadavoca:  
И тогда достопочтенный Ананда так сказал достопочтенному Ануруддхе:  
Then Venerable Ānanda said to Venerable Anuruddha,  
Parinibbute bhagavati saha parinibbānā āyasmā ānando imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:  
И когда Благостный достиг ниббаны, то с достижением ниббаны достопочтенный Ананда произнес такую строфу:  
When the Buddha became fully extinguished, Venerable Ānanda recited this verse:  
Atha kho āyasmā ca anuruddho āyasmā ca ānando taṁ rattāvasesaṁ dhammiyā kathāya vītināmesuṁ.  
И тогда достопочтенный Ануруддха и достопочтенный Ананда провели остаток этой ночи в добродетельной беседе.  
Ānanda and Anuruddha spent the rest of the night talking about Dhamma.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando āyasmato anuruddhassa paṭissutvā pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya attadutiyo kusināraṁ pāvisi.  
«Хорошо, господин», — согласился с достопочтенным Ануруддхой достопочтенный Ананда, оделся утром, взял сосуд для подаяний и верхнюю одежду и вместе с другим [монахом] вошел в Кусинару.  
“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. Then, in the morning, he robed up and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kusinārā with a companion.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena kosinārakānaṁ mallānaṁ sandhāgāraṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā kosinārakānaṁ mallānaṁ ārocesi:  
И вот достопочтенный Ананда приблизился к месту собраний кусинарийских маллов и, приблизившись, передал кусинарийским маллам:  
Ānanda went up to them, and announced,  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   И вот достопочтенный Ананда приблизился к Благостному; приблизившись, он приветствовал Благостного и сел в стороне. И вот, сидя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  

Assosi kho āyasmā ānando:   И вот достопочтенный Ананда услышал:  
Venerable Ānanda heard of the Buddha’s statements and the Ñātikans’ happiness.  
Idamāyasmā ānando māgadhake paricārake ārabbha eko raho anuvicintetvā rattiyā paccūsasamayaṁ paccuṭṭhāya yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
И поразмыслив так в уединении о последователях из Магадхи, достопочтенный Ананда поднялся на заре и приблизился к Благостному; приблизившись, он приветствовал Благостного и сел в стороне. И вот, сидя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
After pondering the fate of the Magadhan devotees alone in private, Ānanda rose at the crack of dawn and went to see the Buddha. He bowed, sat down to one side, and told the Buddha of his concerns, finishing by saying,  
Idamāyasmā ānando māgadhake paricārake ārabbha bhagavato sammukhā parikathaṁ katvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.  
Сказав так Благостному о последователях из Магадхи, достопочтенный Ананда поднялся с сиденья, приветствовал Благостного и, обойдя [его] с правой стороны, удалился.  
Then Ānanda, after making this suggestion regarding the Magadhan devotees, got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
8. И тогда достопочтенный Ананда приблизился к Благостному; приблизившись, он приветствовал Благостного и сел в стороне. И, сидя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  
Imamatthaṁ bhagavā janavasabhassa yakkhassa sammukhā sutvā sammukhā paṭiggahetvā sāmañca abhiññāya āyasmato ānandassa ārocesi, imamatthamāyasmā ānando bhagavato sammukhā sutvā sammukhā paṭiggahetvā ārocesi bhikkhūnaṁ bhikkhunīnaṁ upāsakānaṁ upāsikānaṁ.  
И Благостный, услышав это из уст, восприняв из уст яккхи Джанавасабхи и сам познав это, передал об этом деле достопочтенному Ананде. И достопочтенный Ананда, услышав это из уст, восприняв из уст Благостного, передал об этом деле монахам, монахиням, преданным мирянам и преданным мирянкам.  
And the Buddha, having heard and learned it in the presence of the spirit Janavasabha, and also from his own direct knowledge, informed Venerable Ānanda. And Venerable Ānanda, having heard and learned it in the presence of the Buddha, informed the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen.  

Atha kho cundo samaṇuddeso pāvāyaṁ vassaṁvuṭṭho yena sāmagāmo, yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho cundo samaṇuddeso āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:   И вот новообращенный отшельник Чунда, проводя дождливое время года в Паве, приблизился к Самагаме к достопочтенному Ананде; приблизившись, он приветствовал достопочтенного Ананду и сел в стороне.  
And then, after completing the rainy season residence near Pāvā, the novice Cunda went to see Venerable Ānanda at Sāma village. He bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando cundaṁ samaṇuddesaṁ etadavoca:  
Когда так было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал новообращенному отшельнику Чунде:  
Ānanda said to him,  
Atha kho āyasmā ca ānando cundo ca samaṇuddeso yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
3. И вот достопочтенный Ананда и новообращенный отшельник Чунда приблизились к Благостному; приблизившись, они приветствовали Благостного и сели в стороне. И, сидя в стороне, достопочтенный Ананда так сказал Благостному:  
Then Ānanda and Cunda went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.  

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Когда так было сказано, достопочтенный Ананда сказал Благословенному:

Достопочтенный Ананда был доволен и восхитился словами Благословенного."

Tatra ce, bhikkhave, pare tathāgataṁ sakkaronti garuṁ karonti mānenti pūjenti, tatra, bhikkhave, tathāgatassa na hoti ānando na somanassaṁ na cetaso uppilāvitattaṁ.   И если другие восхваляют, уважают, чтят и почитают Татхагату за это, то он не испытывает ни радости, ни счастья, ни ликования по этому поводу.  
Or if others honor, respect, revere, or venerate him, he doesn’t get thrilled, elated, and emotionally excited.  
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, tumhe cepi pare sakkareyyuṁ garuṁ kareyyuṁ māneyyuṁ pūjeyyuṁ, tatra tumhehi na ānando na somanassaṁ na cetaso uppilāvitattaṁ karaṇīyaṁ.  
И если другие восхваляют, уважают, чтят и почитают вас,

Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavocuṁ:   И тогда группа монахов отправилась к достопочтенному Ананде, и они сказали ему:  
Then several mendicants went up to Venerable Ānanda and said to him,  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.

“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
- Да, уважаемый, - ответил достопочтенный Ананда.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
тогда достопочтенный Ананда обратился к Благословенному:  
Then Ānanda said to the Buddha,  

Addasā kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantañca mahāmoggallānaṁ āyasmantañca mahākassapaṁ āyasmantañca anuruddhaṁ yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkamante dhammassavanāya.   Достопочтенный Ананда увидел, что они направляются к достопочтенному Сарипутте послушать Дхамму.  
Seeing them, Venerable Ānanda  
Atha kho āyasmā ca revato āyasmā ca ānando yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkamiṁsu dhammassavanāya.

‘etu kho āyasmā ānando.  
 
 
Evaṁ vutte, bhante, āyasmā ānando maṁ etadavoca:  
Будучи спрошен так, уважаемый, достопочтенный Ананда ответил:  
When I had spoken, Ānanda said to me:  
Yathā taṁ ānandova sammā byākaramāno byākareyya.  
Ананда сказал так, говоря правдиво.  
Ānanda answered in the right way for him.  
Ānando hi, sāriputta, bahussuto sutadharo sutasannicayo. Ye te dhammā ādikalyāṇā majjhekalyāṇā pariyosānakalyāṇā sātthā sabyañjanā; kevalaparipuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ abhivadanti, tathārūpāssa dhammā bahussutā honti, dhātā, vacasā paricitā, manasānupekkhitā, diṭṭhiyā suppaṭividdhā.  
Ведь Ананда много изучал…”  
For Ānanda is very learned …”  

Addasā kho āyasmā ānando saccakaṁ nigaṇṭhaputtaṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ.   Достопочтенный Ананда, заметив его издали,  
Venerable Ānanda saw him coming off in the distance,

Nanda Vaccha, Kisa Saṅkicca, and the bamboo-staffed ascetic Gosāla.  

ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando vesāliyaṁ viharati beluvagāmake.   Однажды достопочтенный Ананда проживал в Белувагамаке возле Весали.  
At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Vesālī in the little village of Beluva.

И когда домохозяин Дасама закончил свои дела в Паталипутте, он отправился к достопочтенному Ананде в Белувагамаку, что возле Весали. Поклонившись ему, он сел рядом и спросил его:

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho cundo samaṇuddeso āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:   And then, after completing the rainy season residence near Pāvā, the novice Cunda went to see Venerable Ānanda at Sāma village. He bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando cundaṁ samaṇuddesaṁ etadavoca:

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena gopakamoggallānassa brāhmaṇassa kammanto, yena gopakamoggallāno brāhmaṇo tenupasaṅkami.  
So that’s what he did.

For just then the brahmin Vassakāra, a minister of Magadha, while supervising the work at Rājagaha, approached Ānanda at Moggallāna’s place of work and exchanged greetings with him.  
“kahaṁ pana bhavaṁ ānando etarahi viharatī”ti?

When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Достопочтенный Ананда был доволен и восхитился словами Благословенного. "  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. 

Ānando nando upanando dvādasa,   There are twelve Ānandas, Nandas, and Upanandas,  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then in the late afternoon, Venerable Ānanda came out of retreat and went to the Buddha. He bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. 

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ānando sambahulehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ ghaṭāya sakkassa vihāre cīvarakammaṁ karoti.   Now at that time Venerable Ānanda, together with many other mendicants, was making robes in Ghaṭa the Sakyan’s dwelling.  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. 

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando te bhikkhū etadavoca:   When they said this, Venerable Ānanda said,  
evaṁjaccā te bhagavanto ahesuṁ itipi, evaṁnāmā … evaṅgottā … evaṁsīlā … evaṁdhammā … evaṁpaññā … evaṁvihārī … evaṁvimuttā te bhagavanto ahesuṁ itipī’ti. Evaṁ vutte, bhante, āyasmā ānando amhe etadavoca:  
 
Idamavoca āyasmā ānando.  
That’s what Ānanda said,  

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ānando upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandasseti samādapeti samuttejeti sampahaṁseti, bhaddekarattassa uddesañca vibhaṅgañca bhāsati.   Now at that time Venerable Ānanda was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants in the assembly hall with a Dhamma talk on the topic of the recitation passage and analysis of One Fine Night.  
“Āyasmā, bhante, ānando upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṁsesi, bhaddekarattassa uddesañca vibhaṅgañca abhāsī”ti.  
“It was Venerable Ānanda, sir.”  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. 

Atha kho āyasmā samiddhi acirapakkante potaliputte paribbājake yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi.   Soon after he had left, Venerable Samiddhi went to Venerable Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ samiddhiṁ etadavoca:  
When he had spoken, Ānanda said to him,  
Atha kho āyasmā ca ānando āyasmā ca samiddhi yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu.  
Then Ānanda and Samiddhi went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side,  
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando yāvatako ahosi āyasmato samiddhissa potaliputtena paribbājakena saddhiṁ kathāsallāpo taṁ sabbaṁ bhagavato ārocesi.  
and told him what had happened.  
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. 

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando anāthapiṇḍikaṁ gahapatiṁ etadavoca:   Venerable Ānanda said to him,  
Atha kho āyasmā ca sāriputto āyasmā ca ānando anāthapiṇḍikaṁ gahapatiṁ iminā ovādena ovaditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkamiṁsu.  
And when the venerables Sāriputta and Ānanda had given the householder Anāthapiṇḍika this advice they got up from their seat and left.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
When he had spoken, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha:  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. 

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.   “Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.  
Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said.  

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  

Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho nando devaputto bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:   Standing to one side, the god Nanda recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him,  

Nando nandivisālo ca,    

Atha kho, mahārāja, ānando bhikkhu yenāhaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā maṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho, mahārāja, ānando bhikkhu maṁ etadavoca:   Then the mendicant Ānanda came to me, bowed, sat down to one side, and said:  

Parinibbute bhagavati saha parinibbānā āyasmā ānando imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:   When the Buddha became fully extinguished, Venerable Ānanda recited this verse:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.   Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms.  
Sāvatthiyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
He wandered for alms in Sāvatthī. After the meal, on his return from almsround, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi āyasmatā vaṅgīsena pacchāsamaṇena.  
Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms with Venerable Vaṅgīsa as his second monk.  

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando kosalesu viharati aññatarasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying in the land of the Kosalans in a certain forest grove.  
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ānando ativelaṁ gihisaññattibahulo viharati.  
Now at that time Ānanda was spending too much time informing the lay people.  
Atha kho yā tasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe adhivatthā devatā āyasmato ānandassa anukampikā atthakāmā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ saṁvejetukāmā yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:  
Then the deity haunting that forest had compassion for Ānanda, wanting what’s best for him. So they approached him wanting to stir him up, and recited these verses:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando tāya devatāya saṁvejito saṁvegamāpādīti. 
Impelled by that deity, Venerable Ānanda was struck with a sense of urgency. 

Ānando anuruddho ca,    

Assosi kho āyasmā ānando āyasmato sāriputtassa tehi aññatitthiyehi paribbājakehi saddhiṁ imaṁ kathāsallāpaṁ.   Venerable Ānanda heard this discussion between Venerable Sāriputta and those wanderers of other religions.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando rājagahe piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.  
Then Ānanda wandered for alms in Rājagaha. After the meal, on his return from almsround, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side,  
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando yāvatako āyasmato sāriputtassa tehi aññatitthiyehi paribbājakehi saddhiṁ ahosi kathāsallāpo taṁ sabbaṁ bhagavato ārocesi.  
and informed the Buddha of all they had discussed.  

Assosi kho āyasmā ānando āyasmato sāriputtassa āyasmatā bhūmijena saddhiṁ imaṁ kathāsallāpaṁ.   Venerable Ānanda heard this discussion between Venerable Sāriputta and Venerable Bhūmija.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.  
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side,  
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando yāvatako āyasmato sāriputtassa āyasmatā bhūmijena saddhiṁ ahosi kathāsallāpo taṁ sabbaṁ bhagavato ārocesi.  
and informed the Buddha of all they had discussed.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha:  

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   When he had spoken, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ca musilo āyasmā ca paviṭṭho āyasmā ca nārado āyasmā ca ānando kosambiyaṁ viharanti ghositārāme.   At one time the venerables Musīla, Saviṭṭha, Nārada, and Ānanda were staying near Kosambī in Ghosita’s monastery.  
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ paviṭṭhaṁ etadavoca:  
When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to Venerable Saviṭṭha,  

“Evamāvuso”ti kho susimo paribbājako sakāya parisāya paṭissuṇitvā yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi.   “Yes, reverends,” replied Susīma. Then he went to Venerable Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando susimaṁ paribbājakaṁ ādāya yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Ānanda took Susīma to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,  

āyasmāpi kho ānando sambahulehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ bhagavato avidūre caṅkamati;   Venerable Ānanda,  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yenāyasmā mahākassapo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ mahākassapaṁ etadavoca:   И тогда, утром, Достопочтенный Ананда, одевшись, взяв чашу и одеяние, отправился к Достопочтенному Махакассапе и сказал: ",  
Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to Mahākassapa and said,  
Dutiyampi kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ mahākassapaṁ etadavoca:  
И во второй раз... ",  
And a second time …  
Tatiyampi kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ mahākassapaṁ etadavoca:  
И в третий раз Достопочтенный Ананда сказал Достопочтенному Махакассапе: ",  
And a third time, Ānanda said,  
Ānandopi, bhikkhave, yāvade ākaṅkhati vivicceva kāmehi vivicca akusalehi dhammehi savitakkaṁ savicāraṁ vivekajaṁ pītisukhaṁ paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharatī’”ti?  
Ананда тоже, до той степени, до которой он пожелает, будучи отстранённым от чувственных удовольствий, отстранённым от неблагих состояний [ума], входит и пребывает в первой джхане»? ",  
And so does Ānanda’?”  
Ānandopi, bhikkhave, āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharatī’”ti?  
Ананда тоже, до той степени, до которой он пожелает, будучи отстранённым от чувственных удовольствий, отстранённым от неблагих состояний [ума], входит и пребывает в первой джхане»? ",  
And so does Ānanda’?”  

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ānando dakkhiṇagirismiṁ cārikaṁ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ.   И в то время Достопочтенный Ананда странствовал по Даккхинагири вместе с большой Сангхой монахов. ",  
Now at that time Venerable Ānanda was wandering in the Southern Hills together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando dakkhiṇagirismiṁ yathābhirantaṁ cārikaṁ caritvā yena rājagahaṁ veḷuvanaṁ kalandakanivāpo yenāyasmā mahākassapo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ mahākassapaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āyasmā mahākassapo etadavoca:  
Когда Достопочтенный Ананда постранствовал по Даккхинагири столько, сколько счёл нужным, он вернулся в Раджагаху в Бамбуковую Рощу в Беличье Святилище. Он отправился к Достопочтенному Махакассапе, поклонился ему, сел рядом. Достопочтенный Махакассапа сказал ему: ",  
When Venerable Ānanda had wandered in the Southern Hills as long as he pleased, he set out for Rājagaha, to the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. He went up to Venerable Mahākassapa, bowed, and sat down to one side. Mahākassapa said to him:  
“ayyena kira mahākassapena ayyo ānando vedehamuni kumārakavādena apasādito”ti.  
«Учитель Махакассапа унизил Учителя Ананду, мудреца Видехи, обозвав его юнцом». ",  
Master Mahākassapa had rebuked Master Ānanda the Videhan sage by calling him a boy.  

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha,  

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ etadavoca:   When he said this, Venerable Ānanda said to him,  

Atha kho āyasmā nando bhagavato mātucchāputto ākoṭitapaccākoṭitāni cīvarāni pārupitvā akkhīni añjetvā acchaṁ pattaṁ gahetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ nandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:   Then Venerable Nanda—the Buddha’s cousin on his mother’s side—dressed in nicely pressed and ironed robes, applied eyeshadow, and took a polished black bowl. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:  
Atha kho āyasmā nando aparena samayena āraññiko ca piṇḍapātiko ca paṁsukūliko ca kāmesu ca anapekkho vihāsīti.  
Then some time later Venerable Nanda stayed in the wilderness, ate only almsfood, wore rag robes, and lived without concern for sensual pleasures. 

visākho nando tisso ca;    

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando …pe…   And then Venerable Ānanda …  

Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu acirapakkantassa bhagavato yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:   Then, not long after the Buddha had left, one of the mendicants went to Venerable Ānanda and told him what had happened.  
Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodiṁsu.  
Then several mendicants went up to Venerable Ānanda and exchanged greetings with him.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando tehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ yena pālileyyakaṁ bhaddasālamūlaṁ yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.  
Then Venerable Ānanda together with those mendicants went to Pārileyya to see the Buddha. They bowed and sat down to one side,  

Tatra kho āyasmā ānando bhikkhū āmantesi:   There Ānanda addressed the mendicants:  
Āyasmā ānando etadavoca:  
Ānanda said this:  

“ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ, pahoti ca me āyasmā ānando tathā dhammaṁ desetuṁ yathāhaṁ dhammaṁ passeyyaṁ;   “The Venerable Ānanda is staying near Kosambī, in Ghosita’s Monastery. He’s praised by the Buddha and esteemed by his sensible spiritual companions. He’s quite capable of teaching me the Dhamma so that I can see the teaching.  
Yannūnāhaṁ yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkameyyan”ti.  
why don’t I go to see him?”  
Atha kho āyasmā channo senāsanaṁ saṁsāmetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena kosambī ghositārāmo yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā channo āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Channa set his lodgings in order and, taking his bowl and robe, set out for Kosambī. He went to see Ānanda in Ghosita’s Monastery, exchanged greetings with him, and told him what had happened. Then he said,  
‘ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ, pahoti ca me āyasmā ānando tathā dhammaṁ desetuṁ yathāhaṁ dhammaṁ passeyyaṁ.  
 
Yannūnāhaṁ yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkameyyan’ti.  
 
Ovadatu maṁ, āyasmā ānando;  
“May Venerable Ānanda advise me and instruct me! May he give me a Dhamma talk so that I can see the teaching!”

Ānando tisso yamako,    

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā …pe… bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  

Addasā kho āyasmā ānando āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ.   Venerable Ānanda saw him coming off in the distance,  

Addasā kho āyasmā ānando …pe… āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ etadavoca:   Venerable Ānanda saw Venerable Sāriputta and said to him:  

Addasā kho āyasmā ānando …pe…   Venerable Ānanda saw Venerable Sāriputta and said to him:  

Addasā kho āyasmā ānando …pe…   Venerable Ānanda saw Venerable Sāriputta and said to him:

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando …pe… bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   And then Venerable Ānanda … said to the Buddha:  

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Seated to one side, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha:  

“ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito, sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ.   “This Venerable Ānanda is praised by the Buddha and esteemed by his sensible spiritual companions.

He is capable of explaining in detail the meaning of this brief passage for recitation given by the Buddha.

Atha kho te bhikkhū yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodiṁsu.  
Then those mendicants went to Ānanda and exchanged greetings with him.

Vibhajatāyasmā ānando agaruṁ karitvā”ti.

Āyasmā ānando etadavoca:  
Ānanda said this:  
‘ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito, sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ.

Atha kho ghosito gahapati yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho ghosito gahapati āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:  
Then the householder Ghosita went up to Venerable Ānanda, and said to him:

Then he said to the Buddha:

Then Nanda, after returning the cows to their owners, went up to the Buddha and said to him,

And the cowherd Nanda received the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence.

Venerable Nanda became one of the perfected.

Затем, вскоре после того, как странник Ваччхаготта ушёл, Достопочтенный Ананда обратился к Благословенному:  
And then, not long after Vacchagotta had left, Venerable Ānanda said to the Buddha:

Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.   Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms.  
Addasā kho āyasmā ānando jāṇussoṇiṁ brāhmaṇaṁ sabbasetena vaḷavābhirathena sāvatthiyā niyyāyantaṁ.  
He saw the brahmin Jānussoṇi driving out of Sāvatthī in a splendid all-white chariot drawn by mares.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando sāvatthiyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Ānanda wandered for alms in Sāvatthī. After the meal, on his return from almsround, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened, adding,  

ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ca ānando āyasmā ca bhaddo pāṭaliputte viharanti kukkuṭārāme.   At one time the venerables Ānanda and Bhadda were staying near Pāṭaliputta, in the Chicken Monastery.  
Atha kho āyasmā bhaddo sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodi.  
Then in the late afternoon, Venerable Bhadda came out of retreat, went to Venerable Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena aññataro bhikkhunupassayo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.   Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the nuns’ quarters, and sat down on the seat spread out.  
Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhuniyo yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu. Ekamantaṁ nisinnā kho tā bhikkhuniyo āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavocuṁ:  
Then several nuns went up to Venerable Ānanda bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando tā bhikkhuniyo dhammiyā kathāya sandassetvā samādapetvā samuttejetvā sampahaṁsetvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.  
Then Ānanda educated, encouraged, fired up, and inspired those nuns with a Dhamma talk, after which he got up from his seat and left.  
Atha kho āyasmā ānando sāvatthiyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.  
Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said.  

Atha kho cundo samaṇuddeso āyasmato sāriputtassa pattacīvaramādāya yena sāvatthi jetavanaṁ anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāmo yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho cundo samaṇuddeso āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:   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:  
Atha kho āyasmā ca ānando cundo ca samaṇuddeso yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
Then Ānanda and Cunda went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

Then in the late afternoon, Venerable Bhadda came out of retreat, went to Venerable Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.  

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground.  
“ehi tvaṁ, ambho purisa, yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena āyasmato ānandassa pāde sirasā vanda:

Adhivāsesi kho āyasmā ānando tuṇhībhāvena.  
Ānanda consented with silence.

Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the home of the householder Sirivaḍḍha, sat down on the seat spread out, and said to him:  

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā bhagavato gattāni pāṇinā anomajjanto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:   Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and while massaging the Buddha’s limbs he said:  

“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.  
Āyasmāpi kho ānando bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.  
Ānanda bowed to the Buddha and sat down to one side.  
Evampi kho āyasmā ānando bhagavatā oḷārike nimitte kayiramāne oḷārike obhāse kayiramāne nāsakkhi paṭivijjhituṁ;  
But Ānanda didn’t get it, even though the Buddha dropped such an obvious hint, such a clear sign.

“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.  

ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā ānando kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme.   At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Kosambī, in Ghosita’s Monastery.

Then Uṇṇābha the brahmin went up to Venerable Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.
