[734] Then the novice (samaṇuddesa) Cunda, taking the bowl and robe of the Venerable Sāriputta, went to the Venerable Ānanda at Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's monastery, near Sāvatthī. Having approached, he paid homage to the Venerable Ānanda and sat down to one side. Sitting to one side, the novice Cunda said this to the Venerable Ānanda: "Venerable sir, the Venerable Sāriputta has attained final Nibbāna (parinibbuto). This is his bowl and robe."
"Friend Cunda, this is indeed an occasion of news for seeing the Blessed One. Come, friend Cunda, let us go to the Blessed One; having approached, we shall report this matter to the Blessed One."
"Yes, venerable sir," the novice Cunda replied to the Venerable Ānanda.
