(27) 父王駕崩　說法荼毘
淨飯王年老病篤，佛盡子責，回國侍父，為說勝法，悟證而逝，更施財物，送終扶棺，說法荼毘，盡諸孝道。

Death of King Suddhodana, Buddha Spoke at the Jhapita Ritual.
King Suddhodana was old and ill. Buddha went back to Kapilavastu to wait on his father and spoke to his father about the Dharma. King Suddhodana immediately attained arhatship and passed away peacefully. Buddha gave away treasures and material goods, attended his father’s funeral and spoke at the Jhapita (cremation) thus fulfilling his role as a son.
