「爾時,忉利諸天聞此偈已,倍復歡喜,不能自勝,增益諸天眾,減損阿須倫眾。釋提桓因見忉利天歡喜悅豫,即告之曰:『諸賢!汝等頗欲聞如來八無等法不?』時,忉利諸天言:『願樂欲聞!』
“After the Trāyastriṃśa gods heard these verses, their rejoicing was redoubled. They couldn’t control themselves. ‘The host of gods is increasing, and the host of asuras is decreasing!’ Śakra the Lord of Gods saw the Trāyastriṃśa gods rejoicing and being merry, so he addressed them, ‘Gentlemen, would you like to hear about the Tathāgata’s eight unequalled qualities?’
“The Trāyastriṃśa gods said, ‘We would like to hear it!’
