*Buddhapashcimavavadopadesha 1.5

1.5

釋迦牟尼佛初轉法輪度阿若憍陳如，最後說法度須跋陀羅。所應度者皆已度訖，於娑羅雙樹間將入涅槃。是時中夜寂然無聲，為諸弟子略說法要。

When the Buddha Śākyamuni first turned the wheel of Dharma (dharmacakrapravartana), he delivered Ājñātakauṇḍinya; in his final teaching of the Dharma, he delivered Subhadra. Those who should be delivered having all been delivered, between the twin śāla trees he was about to enter nirvāṇa. At that time, in the middle of the night, all was still and silent without a sound; for the disciples he briefly expounded the essentials of the Dharma.
