[1130] "And, venerable sir, this statement was spoken by the Blessed One: 'Evil One, I shall not attain final Nibbāna until my bhikkhunīs have become disciples who are competent, disciplined, confident, learned, bearers of the Dhamma, practicing in accordance with the Dhamma, practicing properly, conducting themselves in accordance with the Dhamma; who, having learned their own teacher's doctrine, will explain it, teach it, proclaim it, establish it, disclose it, analyze it, and make it plain; and who, having thoroughly refuted with reason the doctrines of others that have arisen, will teach the Dhamma with its marvels (sappāṭihāriya).' And now, venerable sir, there are bhikkhunīs who are disciples of the Blessed One — competent, disciplined, confident, learned, bearers of the Dhamma, practicing in accordance with the Dhamma, practicing properly, conducting themselves in accordance with the Dhamma; who, having learned their own teacher's doctrine, explain it, teach it, proclaim it, establish it, disclose it, analyze it, and make it plain; and who, having thoroughly refuted with reason the doctrines of others that have arisen, teach the Dhamma with its marvels. Let the Blessed One now attain final Nibbāna, venerable sir; let the Fortunate One attain final Nibbāna. Now, venerable sir, is the time for the Blessed One's final Nibbāna."
