Nanu etaṃ, ānanda, mayā paṭikacceva akkhātaṃ:
Did I not prepare for this when I explained that
3.48.2
‘sabbeheva piyehi manāpehi nānābhāvo vinābhāvo aññathābhāvo.
we must be parted and separated from all we hold dear and beloved?
3.48.3
Taṃ kutettha, ānanda, labbhā, yaṃ taṃ jātaṃ bhūtaṃ saṅkhataṃ palokadhammaṃ, taṃ vata mā palujjīti netaṃ ṭhānaṃ vijjati’.
How could it possibly be so that what is born, created, conditioned, and liable to wear out should not wear out?
3.48.4
Yaṃ kho panetaṃ, ānanda, tathāgatena cattaṃ vantaṃ muttaṃ pahīnaṃ paṭinissaṭṭhaṃ ossaṭṭho āyusaṅkhāro, ekaṃsena vācā bhāsitā:
The Realized One has discarded, eliminated, released, given up, relinquished, and surrendered the life force. He has categorically stated:

‘na ciraṃ tathāgatassa parinibbānaṃ bhavissati.
‘The full extinguishment of the Realized One will be soon.
3.48.6
Ito tiṇṇaṃ māsānaṃ accayena tathāgato parinibbāyissatī’ti.
Three months from now the Realized One will be fully extinguished.’
3.48.7
Tañca tathāgato jīvitahetu puna paccāvamissatīti netaṃ ṭhānaṃ vijjati.
It’s not possible for the Realized One, for the sake of life, to take back the life force once it has been given up like that.

“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.
