“ ‘Bhagavān, teach the Dharma to the world including its devas, māras, and brahmakas, to beings including mendicants and brahmins, and to the devas, asuras, and humans. Then there will be benefit for many beings, happiness for many beings, compassion for the world, and welfare, benefit, and happiness for a great multitude of beings, devas, and humans.’

Liberate beings tormented by the phenomena of suffering!
Bring joy and happiness to beings! {35}

“ ‘Through hearing that, enlightenment will be attained.
They will go to the realm of the devas,
They will all avoid rebirth as an asura,
And be disciplined, peaceful, and completely happy.’ {36}

“Bhikṣus, the Bhagavān gave his assent by saying nothing to the Mahābrahmās.

“Bhikṣus, at that time the airborne palaces of the Brahmās who were in the fifty hundred thousand quintillion worlds in the south became very beautiful, bright, radiant, glorious, and majestic.
