佛滅度已，供養舍利，經于一月，方始闍維。焚了即日分舍利竟，往至祇洹，具問事已，經十三日，結集三藏，方往王城。至結集時，大迦葉集僧，僧上使目連鳴鐘集百億四天下凡聖僧眾，便白四羯磨，罰賓頭盧及阿難已，令阿難上高座，披如來麁布僧伽梨。阿難受教，先誦《遺教》如佛約勅，諸大菩薩、大阿羅漢、一切比丘、天龍八部皆悉悲號涕泣。尊者大迦葉從座而起，披麁布僧伽梨，捉尼師壇至高座前，敷尼師壇，禮阿難已，又遶三匝。大梵天王持寶蓋覆阿難上。天主帝釋進七寶案置阿難前。魔王波旬持七寶拂受與阿難。魔王、帝釋夾侍兩邊，四天王侍高座四脚，三十二使在迦葉後䠒跪而止。

After the Buddha passed into extinction, his śarīra was venerated for a full month before the cremation (jhāpita) was begun. When the burning was completed, the śarīra was divided that very day. They went to the Jetavana, and having thoroughly inquired into the matters, thirteen days elapsed before they compiled the Tripiṭaka and then went to Rājagṛha. When the compilation took place, Mahākāśyapa assembled the Sangha. Sthavira [Mahākāśyapa] sent Maudgalyāyana to strike the bell to assemble the hundreds of millions of ordinary and noble monks from the four continents. Thereupon, through a jñapti-caturtha-karman, having punished Piṇḍola and Ānanda, he had Ānanda ascend the high seat, wearing the Tathāgata's saṅghāṭī of coarse cloth. Ānanda received his instruction and first recited the Bequeathed Teaching according to the Buddha's injunctions; the great bodhisattvas, great arhats, all the bhikṣus, and the eight classes of devas and nāgas all wailed and wept with grief. The Venerable Mahākāśyapa rose from his seat, put on a saṅghāṭī of coarse cloth, took his niṣīdāna to the front of the high seat, spread the niṣīdāna, and having prostrated to Ānanda, circumambulated him three times. Mahābrahmā held a jeweled canopy covering Ānanda. Śakra, lord of the devas, advanced with a table of seven jewels and placed it before Ānanda. Māra Pāpīyān held a flywhisk of seven jewels and handed it to Ānanda. Māra and Śakra flanked him on both sides, the Four Heavenly Kings attended the four legs of the high seat, and thirty-two envoys knelt behind Kāśyapa and halted.
