### [v1.c16.596](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.596)

\*\*Cittapāṭali.\*\*—A tree in the Asurabhavana¹ which lives for a whole æon. When the Asuras were pushed out of the deva-world into their present abode, it was the presence of this tree which revealed to them their whereabouts.² It is said³ that whenever the Cittapāṭali blossomed, the Asuras thought of the Pāricchattaka-tree which they had left behind in Tāvatiṃsa and started making preparations for a war against Sakka.
