[625] When the Blessed One had attained final Nibbāna (parinibbāna), simultaneously with his final Nibbāna the Venerable Anuruddha spoke these verses: "There was no more in-breathing and out-breathing in him of steady mind (citta), the Stable One (tādī); imperturbable, intent upon peace, the One with Vision attained final Nibbāna.¹ With a mind unshrinking he endured the feeling (vedanā); like the quenching (nibbāna) of a lamp was the liberation (vimokkha) of his mind." The Brahmā Pentad (Brahmapañcaka). The summary (uddāna) thereof: Brahmāsana, Devadatta, Andhakavinda, Aruṇavatī, and with the Parinibbāna — this Brahmā Pentad has been taught.² The Brahmasaṃyutta is concluded. #1 D. Mahā. 10/182: in the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta the reading "yaṃ kālamakarī munī" ("when the Sage passed away") is found. #2 And at the end of this Brahmasaṃyutta [in some copies]: "The summary thereof: Brahmāyācana and Gārava, Brahmadeva, Baka the Brahmā, and a certain Brahmā, Brahmaloka and Kokālika, and Āḷavika and Tudu the Brahmā, the bhikkhu Kokālika, with Sanaṅkumāra, Devadatta, Andhavinda, Aruṇavatī, with Parinibbāna — fifteen." Such sequences of the text are found. ________________ BRĀHMAṆASAṂYUTTA The Arahant Chapter, the First (Arahantavagga) __________ The Dhanañjānī Sutta, the First
