And the winds will blow and the rains fall at the right times.
“ ‘Throughout all of this Jambudvīpa,
Excellent harvests will grow in the lands

Chapter 23: The Prophecy

At that time, ten thousand devas, chief among them Jvalanāntaratejorāja, descended together from the Trāyastriṃśa paradise. They came before the Bhagavat, bowed their heads to his feet in homage, seated themselves to one side, and listened to the Dharma that was taught by the Bhagavat.
