[117] Then the Blessed One, having stayed at Bhoganagara for as long as he was pleased to, addressed the Venerable Ānanda: "Come, Ānanda, let us go to Pāvā." "Even so, venerable sir," the Venerable Ānanda replied to the Blessed One. Then the Blessed One, together with a great Saṅgha of bhikkhus, arrived at Pāvā. There the Blessed One stayed at Pāvā, in the mango grove of Cunda the smith (kammāraputta).
Then Cunda the smith heard: "The Blessed One, it is said, has reached Pāvā and is staying at Pāvā in my mango grove." Then Cunda the smith approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. As Cunda the smith sat there to one side, the Blessed One instructed, roused, inspired, and gladdened him with a talk on the Dhamma. Then Cunda the smith—instructed, roused, inspired, and gladdened by the Blessed One with a talk on the Dhamma—said to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, may the Blessed One, together with the Saṅgha of bhikkhus, consent to accept my meal for tomorrow." The Blessed One consented by silence.
Then Cunda the smith, knowing the Blessed One's consent, rose from his seat, paid homage to the Blessed One, circumambulated him keeping his right side toward him, and departed. Then, when that night had passed, Cunda the smith had excellent hard and soft foods prepared in his own dwelling, together with an abundance of sūkaramaddava, and had the time announced to the Blessed One: "It is time, venerable sir; the meal is ready."
Then the Blessed One, in the morning, having dressed and taking his bowl and robe, went together with the Saṅgha of bhikkhus to the dwelling of Cunda the smith; having arrived, he sat down on the seat prepared. Having sat down, the Blessed One addressed Cunda the smith: "Cunda, serve me with the sūkaramaddava that you have prepared; but serve the Saṅgha of bhikkhus with the other hard and soft foods that have been prepared." "Even so, venerable sir," Cunda the smith replied to the Blessed One, and he served the Blessed One with the sūkaramaddava that had been prepared, and served the Saṅgha of bhikkhus with the other hard and soft foods that had been prepared.
Then the Blessed One addressed Cunda the smith: "Cunda, whatever sūkaramaddava remains, bury it in a pit. Cunda, I do not see anyone in the world with its devas, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans, by whom that food, once eaten, could be properly digested, except the Tathāgata." "Even so, venerable sir," Cunda the smith replied to the Blessed One; and having buried the remaining sūkaramaddava in a pit, he approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. As Cunda the smith sat there to one side, the Blessed One, having instructed, roused, inspired, and gladdened him with a talk on the Dhamma, rose from his seat and departed.
Then, when the Blessed One had eaten the meal of Cunda the smith, a severe illness arose in him—bloody dysentery—and violent feelings (vedanā), bordering on death, set in. These the Blessed One endured, with mindfulness and clearly comprehending, without being distressed. Then the Blessed One addressed the Venerable Ānanda: "Come, Ānanda, let us go to Kusinārā." "Even so, venerable sir," the Venerable Ānanda replied to the Blessed One.
