Cunda.—A worker in metals (kammāraputta) living in Pāvā. When the Buddha reached Pāvā on his way to Kusināra, he stayed in Cunda’s Mango grove. There Cunda visited him and invited him and the monks to a meal the next day. The meal consisted of sweet rice and cakes and sūkaramaddava. At the meal the Buddha ordered that he alone should be served with sūkaramaddava, and that what was left over should be buried in a hole. This was the Buddha’s last meal, as very soon after it he developed dysentery.¹ The Buddha, a little while before his death, gave special instructions to Ānanda that he should visit Cunda and reassure him by telling him that no blame at all attached to him and that he should feel no remorse, but should, on the contrary, rejoice, in that he had been able to give to the Buddha a meal which, in merit, far exceeded any other.² - [Previous: v1.c16.703](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.703) - [Next: v1.c16.705](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.705) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.704](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.704) · Pramāṇa
