5.52

"At that time, Ānanda entered and said to the Buddha: 'Bhagavat! I now wish to make one request of the Buddha.' The Buddha said: 'I permit you to speak it.' Ānanda said to the Buddha: 'The venerable lady Gautamī nursed and reared the Tathāgata's physical body. Up to his attaining buddhahood now, it was established by relying on this lady. She has a great share of kindness toward the Tathāgata. The Tathāgata still permits all sentient beings to enter into the Buddha-Dharma; how much more so this lady—could she not be granted permission?'
