3.9

「『忉利諸天人,帝釋相娛樂;
禮敬於如來,最上法之王。
諸天受影福,壽、色、名、樂、威;
於佛修梵行,故來生此間。
復有諸天人,光色甚巍巍;
佛智慧弟子,生此復殊勝。
忉利及因提,思惟此自樂;
禮敬於如來,最上法之王。』

“‘The gods of the Trāyastriṃśa
And Lord Śakra are celebrating!
Homage to the Tathāgata,
The king of the highest teaching!

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

The gods get their shape and fortunes
Of life, form, name, pleasure, and majesty.
They trained in the Buddha’s religious life,
So they’ve been reborn in this place.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

Again, there are all these gods
With radiant forms so glorious.
The Buddha’s wise disciples
Born here are the most excellent.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

The Trāyastriṃśa gods and their lord
Consider their own happiness here.
Homage to the Tathāgata,
The king of the highest teaching!’

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)
