Nanu ca devatānaṃ cittavasena yojanasatikopi rukkho onamitvā hatthaṃ āgacchati, kasmā tā abhiruḷhāti. Khiḍḍāpasutatāya. Abhiruyha pana madhurassarena gāyitvā gāyitvā pupphāni pātenti, tāni gahetvā itarā ekatovaṇṭikamālādivasena ganthenti. Atha rukkhaṃ abhiruḷhā upacchedakakammavasena ekappahāreneva kālaṃ katvā avīcimhi nibbattā mahādukkhaṃ anubhavanti.

Atha kāle gacchante devaputto ‘‘imāsaṃ neva saddo suyyati, na pupphāni pātenti. Kahaṃ nu kho gatā’’ti? Āvajjento niraye nibbattabhāvaṃ disvā piyavatthukasokena ruppamāno cintesi – ‘‘etā tāva yathākammena gatā, mayhaṃ āyusaṅkhāro kittako’’ti. So – ‘‘sattame divase mayāpi avasesāhi pañcasatāhi saddhiṃ kālaṃ katvā tattheva nibbattitabba’’nti disvā balavatarena sokena ruppi. So – ‘‘imaṃ mayhaṃ sokaṃ sadevake loke aññatra tathāgatā niddhamituṃ samattho nāma natthī’’ti cintetvā satthu santikaṃ gantvā niccaṃ utrastanti gāthamāha.

Tattha idanti attano cittaṃ dasseti. Dutiyapadaṃ purimasseva vevacanaṃ. Niccanti ca padassa devaloke nibbattakālato paṭṭhāyāti attho na gahetabbo, sokuppattikālato pana paṭṭhāya niccanti veditabbaṃ. Anuppannesu kicchesūti ito sattāhaccayena yāni dukkhāni uppajjissanti, tesu. Atho uppatitesu cāti yāni pañcasatānaṃ accharānaṃ niraye nibbattānaṃ diṭṭhāni, tesu cāti evaṃ imesu uppannānuppannesu dukkhesu niccaṃ mama utrastaṃ cittaṃ, abbhantare ḍayhamāno viya homi bhagavāti dasseti.

Ettha kiñcāpi bojjhaṅgabhāvanā paṭhamaṃ gahitā, indriyasaṃvaro pacchā, atthato pana indriyasaṃvarova paṭhamaṃ veditabbo. Indiyasaṃvare hi gahite catupārisuddhisīlaṃ gahitaṃ hoti. Tasmiṃ patiṭṭhito bhikkhu nissayamuttako dhutaṅgasaṅkhātaṃ tapoguṇaṃ samādāya araññaṃ pavisitvā kammaṭṭhānaṃ bhāvento saha vipassanāya bojjhaṅge bhāveti. Tassa ariyamaggo yaṃ nibbānaṃ ārammaṇaṃ katvā uppajjati, so ‘‘sabbanissaggo’’ti bhagavā catusaccavasena desanaṃ vinivattesi. Devaputto desanāpariyosāne sotāpattiphale patiṭṭhahīti. Sattamaṃ.
