27. This passage has been taken as referring to revival after actual death or, alternatively, to recovery from coma or near-death. The paradox of designating as having actually died someone who is subsequently revived is no doubt part of what underlies Ānanda’s question below, in , and in the passage on untimely death that follows. For a discussion of different interpretations see Schopen 1978, pp. 354–7.
