Sakka

Translated by F. L. Woodward
Edited by Mrs. Rhys Davids

[1] THUS have I heard:

ONCE the venerable Moggallāna the Great was staying near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

Then, just as a strong man might stretch out his bent arm
or bend his outstretched arm,
even so did the venerable Moggallāna the Great
vanish from Jeta Grove
and appear among the Devas of the Thirty-Three.

[186]

1.

Then Sakka, lord of the devas,
together with five hundred of the devatas,^[1]
came to visit the venerable Moggallāna the Great,
and on coming to him
saluted him
and stood at one side.

As they thus stood,
the venerable Moggallāna the Great
said to Sakka, lord of the devas: -

"Good indeed, O lord of the devas,
is the going to take refuge in the Buddha.

Such going to take refuge in the Buddha
is the reason why,
when body breaks up,
after death,
some beings are born here in the Happy State,
in the Heaven World.

-◦-

Good indeed, O lord of the devas,
is the going to take refuge in the Norm.

Such going to take refuge in the Norm
is the reason why,
when body breaks up,
after death,
some beings are born here in the Happy State,

in the Heaven World."

"Good indeed, as you say, my good sir,^[2] Moggallāna,
