The Buddha told the monks: "I am old and wish to have someone attend me." Śāriputra, Mahākāśyapa, Maudgalyāyana, and others each volunteered to attend the Buddha. The Buddha said: "It cannot be." Mahākāśyapa and Maudgalyāyana, through meditative contemplation, knew that the Buddha wanted Ānanda, and called Ānanda, saying: "You should attend the Buddha." Ānanda said: "I do not dare to attend the Buddha; I am unable to attend the Buddha." Maudgalyāyana said: "You must attend the Buddha." Ānanda said: "You must grant me four things: first, I do not wish to accept the Buddha's leftover robes; second, I have no use for the Buddha's leftover food; third, if someone invites the Buddha and the other monks do not go, I also will not go; fourth, when the Buddha sits in meditation contemplating the Way, I must have freedom to enter and exit." The Buddha said: "Very good! I grant what you wish." Thereupon Ānanda attended the Buddha; for this reason, Ānanda alone could question the Buddha. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.46) - [Next: 1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.48) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730~en-mt.1.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.47) · Pramāṇa
