16.1.12

波斯匿曰:「我不從如來聞難陀比丘生死已盡,得阿羅漢,心得解脫。所以然者,有天來告孫陀利釋種女曰。是時,孫陀利夫人聞此語已,便作倡妓樂,修治服飾,敷諸坐具。我聞此語已,便來至尊者所。」

The King replied, “I haven’t heard from the Tathāgata that the monk Nanda … has ended birth and death … has become an arhat, and his mind is liberated. The reason I said this was that a god came to the Śakyan woman Sundarī and told it to her. When she heard about it, your wife Sundarī danced, played music, mended her clothes and ornaments, and prepared seats. When I heard about it, I came here to the Venerable.”
