Answer: "Because Devadatta took refuge in the Triratna, although he entered Avīci, the suffering he underwent was mild and slight, and he also periodically gained temporary respite. Furthermore, just as when a person is in a terrifying place in the mountains, forests, or wilderness, if he is mindful of the Buddha's virtues, his terror will instantly cease. Therefore, the rescue and protection of taking refuge in the Triratna is not in vain."
