分別功德論 2.13

2.13

The reason I earnestly entrusted Ānanda is that although past Buddhas had attendants, none was like Ānanda in knowing the Buddha's intent. In the past he had already made offerings to two billion Buddhas, constantly serving as an attendant without seeking the exhaustion of outflows, constantly vowing to attain equal knowledge and know the Buddhas' intent. Because of this, he now obtains his reward: looking into my eyes, he grasps my intent without missing the proper measure.
