The question mentions "Ananda was blamed for a number of things," but the source passages provided are from Chapter 8 about Gautama Buddha and Kisa Gotami. There is no mention of a person named Ananda in any of the supplied passages.
The name "Ananda" does not appear in the given passage. The chapter deals with Kisa Gotami and the Buddha's sermon on grief. This question cannot be answered based on the provided source text.
This question likely belongs to a different chapter or text — possibly the lesson "The Last Lesson" or a Buddhist narrative about the monk Ananda, which is not included in the source passages given here. If you are referring to a specific passage or chapter about Ananda, please share that text so an accurate model answer can be written. Attempting to answer without the correct source would risk giving incorrect information in your exam.
