This formal motion, however, was performed on the twenty-first day after the Tathāgata's final passing. For the Blessed One attained final passing at dawn on the full-moon day of Visākha; then, for seven days, they honored his golden-hued body with perfumes, garlands, and the like. Thus, there were seven days called the 'days of joyous festival'. After that, for seven days it burned with fire on the funeral pyre; then, making a cage of spears, for seven days they performed the honor of the relics in the council hall—thus twenty-one days passed. On the very fifth day of the waxing fortnight of Jeṭṭhamūla, they distributed the relics. On that day of relic distribution, after reporting to the gathered great Saṅgha of monks the misbehavior committed by Subhadda, who had gone forth in old age, and selecting the monks in the manner described, this formal motion was performed.
