[1132] "Venerable sir, this statement was spoken by the Blessed One: 'Evil One, I shall not attain final Nibbāna (parinibbāna) so long as this holy life (brahmacariya) of mine has not become successful and prosperous, widespread, known to many, grown great among the multitude, until it is well proclaimed among devas and humans.' And now, venerable sir, this holy life of the Blessed One has become successful and prosperous, widespread, known to many, grown great among the multitude, well proclaimed among devas and humans. Venerable sir, let the Blessed One now attain final Nibbāna; let the Fortunate One (Sugata) attain final Nibbāna. Now, venerable sir, is the time for the Blessed One's final Nibbāna."
