3.1
Atha kho tā devatā seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṃ vā bāhaṃ pasāreyya pasāritaṃ vā bāhaṃ samiñjeyya; evameva—suddhāvāsesu devesu antarahitā bhagavato purato pāturahesuṃ.
Then, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, they vanished from the Pure Abodes and reappeared in front of the Buddha.
3.2
Atha kho tā devatā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhaṃsu.
They bowed to the Buddha and stood to one side.
3.3
Ekamantaṃ ṭhitā kho ekā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:
Standing to one side, one deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
3.4
“Mahāsamayo pavanasmiṃ,
“There’s a great congregation in the woods,
3.5
Devakāyā samāgatā;
where heavenly hosts have assembled.
3.6
Āgatamha imaṃ dhammasamayaṃ,
We’ve come to this righteous congregation
3.7
Dakkhitāye aparājitasaṅghan”ti.
to see the invincible Saṅgha!”
3.8
Atha kho aparā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:
Then another deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
3.9
“Tatra bhikkhavo samādahaṃsu,
“The mendicants there are immersed in samādhi,
3.10
Cittamattano ujukaṃ akaṃsu;
they’ve straightened their own minds.
3.11
Sārathīva nettāni gahetvā,
Like a charioteer holding the reins,
3.12
Indriyāni rakkhanti paṇḍitā”ti.
the astute ones protect their senses.”
3.13
Atha kho aparā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:
Then another deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
3.14
“Chetvā khīlaṃ chetvā palighaṃ,
“They snapped the post and snapped the cross-bar,
3.15
Indakhīlaṃ ūhacca manejā;
unstirred, they tore out Indra’s pillar.
3.16
Te caranti suddhā vimalā,
They live pure and immaculate,
3.17
Cakkhumatā sudantā susunāgā”ti.
the young giants tamed by the Clear-eyed One.”
3.18
Atha kho aparā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:
Then another deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
3.19
“Ye keci buddhaṃ saraṇaṃ gatāse,
“Anyone who has gone to the Buddha for refuge
3.20
Na te gamissanti apāyabhūmiṃ;
won’t go to a plane of loss.
3.21
Pahāya mānusaṃ dehaṃ,
After giving up this human body,
3.22
Devakāyaṃ paripūressantī”ti.
they swell the heavenly host.”
