Note 6 — Chapter XXIV · WHERE BUDDHA FINALLY RENOUNCED THE WORLD, AND WHERE HE DIED.

(6) A Brahman of Benares, said to have been 120 years old, who came to learn from Buddha the very night he died. Ananda would have repulsed him; but Buddha ordered him to be introduced; and then putting aside the ingenious but unimportant question which he propounded, preached to him the Law. The Brahman was converted and attained at once to Arhatship. Eitel says that he attained to nirvâna a few moments before Sâkyamuni; but see the full account of him and his conversion in “Buddhist Suttas,” p. 103-110.
