[128] Then the Blessed One addressed the Venerable Ānanda: "Come, Ānanda, let us go to the farther bank of the river Hiraññavatī, to the sal grove of the Mallas in the Upavattana of Kusinārā." "So be it, venerable sir," the Venerable Ānanda replied to the Blessed One. Then the Blessed One, together with a great Saṅgha of bhikkhus, went to the farther bank of the river Hiraññavatī, to the sal grove of the Mallas in the Upavattana of Kusinārā. Having arrived, he addressed the Venerable Ānanda: "Please, Ānanda, prepare for me a couch between the twin sal trees, with its head to the north. I am weary, Ānanda; I will lie down." "So be it, venerable sir," the Venerable Ānanda replied to the Blessed One, and he prepared a couch between the twin sal trees, with its head to the north. Then the Blessed One lay down in the lion's posture on his right side, placing one foot upon the other, with mindfulness and clear comprehension (sato sampajāno).
