**Āsavati.**—A creeper which grows in the **Cittalatāvana** in **Tāvatiṃsa**. In its fruit a divine drink is hidden, and they who drink of it once are intoxicated for four months and lie on a divine couch. It bears fruit only once in a thousand years, and the gods wait patiently for that period for a drink of the fruit.¹
