爾時,世尊知摩訶波闍波提比丘尼去已,告諸比丘:「譬如明月十五日夜,無有人疑月滿不滿者,然其彼月究竟圓滿。如是,善男子難陀為諸比丘尼說如是正教授,究竟解脫;若命終時,無有說彼道路所趣,此當知即是苦邊。」是為世尊為五百比丘尼受第一果記。
When he knew that the nun Mahāprajāpatī was gone, the Bhagavān told the monks, “Just as no one doubts that the moon is full on the fifteenth of the month, the moon is still completely full. In this way, that good man Nanda properly instructed and taught the nuns, and they are completely liberated now. When their lives end, no one will say that they have traveled to another destination. It should be known that their suffering will end.” This was the Bhagavān’s prediction that those five hundred nuns would receive the best fruit.
