A Visit to the Gods (1st)
सावत्थिनिदानं। अथ खो आयस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो—सेय्यथापि नाम बलवा पुरिसो समिञ्जितं वा बाहं पसारेय्य, पसारितं वा बाहं समिञ्जेय्य; एवमेव—जेतवने अन्तरहितो देवेसु तावतिंसेसु पातुरहोसि। अथ खो सम्बहुला तावतिंसकायिका देवतायो येनायस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु; उपसङ्कमित्वा आयस्मन्तं महामोग्गल्लानं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं अट्ठंसु। एकमन्तं ठिता खो ता देवतायो आयस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो एतदवोच:
Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Atha kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno—seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṁ vā bāhaṁ pasāreyya, pasāritaṁ vā bāhaṁ samiñjeyya; evameva—jetavane antarahito devesu tāvatiṁsesu pāturahosi. Atha kho sambahulā tāvatiṁsakāyikā devatāyo yenāyasmā mahāmoggallāno tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ mahāmoggallānaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhaṁsu. Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho tā devatāyo āyasmā mahāmoggallāno etadavoca:
At Sāvatthī. And then Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, vanished from Jeta’s Grove and reappeared among the gods of the Thirty-Three. Then several deities of the company of the Thirty-Three went up to Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, bowed, and stood to one side. Moggallāna said to them:
“साधु खो, आवुसो, बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागमनं होति—इतिपि सो भगवा …पे… सत्था देवमनुस्सानं बुद्धो भगवाति। बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागमनहेतु खो, आवुसो, एवम्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति। साधु खो, आवुसो, धम्मे …पे… सङ्घे …पे… साधु खो, आवुसो, अरियकन्तेहि सीलेहि समन्नागमनं होति अखण्डेहि …पे… समाधिसंवत्तनिकेहि। अरियकन्तेहि सीलेहि समन्नागमनहेतु खो, आवुसो, एवम्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ती”ति।
“Sādhu kho, āvuso, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanaṁ hoti—itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti. Buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanahetu kho, āvuso, evam’idhekacce sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti. Sādhu kho, āvuso, dhamme …pe… saṅghe …pe… sādhu kho, āvuso, ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanaṁ hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi. Ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanahetu kho, āvuso, evam’idhekacce sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjantī”ti.
“Friends, it’s good to have experiential confidence in the Buddha. … It’s the reason why some sentient beings, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm. It’s good to have experiential confidence in the teaching. … the Saṅgha … and to have the ethical conduct that’s loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion. It’s the reason why some sentient beings, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.”
“साधु खो, मारिस मोग्गल्लान, बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागमनं होति—इतिपि सो भगवा …पे… सत्था देवमनुस्सानं बुद्धो भगवाति। बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागमनहेतु खो, मारिस मोग्गल्लान, एवम्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति। साधु खो, मारिस मोग्गल्लान, धम्मे …पे… सङ्घे …पे… अरियकन्तेहि सीलेहि समन्नागमनं होति अखण्डेहि …पे… समाधिसंवत्तनिकेहि। अरियकन्तेहि सीलेहि समन्नागमनहेतु खो, मारिस मोग्गल्लान, एवम्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ती”ति।
“Sādhu kho, mārisa moggallāna, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanaṁ hoti—itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti. Buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanahetu kho, mārisa moggallāna, evam’idhekacce sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti. Sādhu kho, mārisa moggallāna, dhamme …pe… saṅghe …pe… ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanaṁ hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi. Ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanahetu kho, mārisa moggallāna, evam’idhekacce sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjantī”ti.
“My good Moggallāna, it’s good to have experiential confidence in the Buddha … It’s the reason why some sentient beings, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm. It’s good to have experiential confidence in the teaching. … the Saṅgha … and to have the ethical conduct that’s loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion. It’s the reason why some sentient beings, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.”
