Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

2: The Book of the Twos

54

1"Bhikkhus, there are these two people whose passing away is mourned by many people. What two? The Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One and the wheel-turning monarch. These are the two people whose passing away is mourned by many people."

1"Dvinnaṁ, bhikkhave, puggalānaṁ kālakiriyā bahuno janassa anutappā hoti. Katamesaṁ dvinnaṁ? Tathāgatassa ca arahato sammāsambuddhassa, rañño ca cakkavattissa. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, dvinnaṁ puggalānaṁ kālakiriyā bahuno janassa anutappā hotī"ti.
