Before entering the parinirvāṇa, the Buddha told Ānanda to visit Cunda and tell him that his meal had nothing to do with his getting ill, and therefore should feel no blame nor remorse; on the contrary, offering the Tathāgata his last meal before passing away was of equal gain as of offering him his first meal before attaining buddhahood, and thus he should rejoice.Dīgha Nikāya II. 135f Name The name Kammāraputta (in Sanskrit, ''Karmāraputra'') means ''son of the smith''.
