Evaṃ me sutaṃ:

Thus have I heard:

Ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā

At one time the Blessed One

sakkesu viharati kapilavatthusmiṃ mahāvane

was dwelling among the Sakyans, at Kapilavatthu in the Great Wood,

mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi sabbeheva arahantehi.

together with a great community of bhikkhus, five hundred bhikkhus, all of them arahants.

Dasahi ca lokadhātūhi devatā yebhuyyena sannipatitā honti bhagavantaṃ dassanāya bhikkhusaṅghañca.

And from ten world-systems the deities had for the most part gathered to see the Blessed One and the community of bhikkhus.

Atha kho catunnaṃ suddhāvāsakāyikānaṃ devānaṃ etadahosi:

Then it occurred to four deities of the Pure Abodes:

“Ayaṃ kho bhagavā sakkesu viharati kapilavatthusmiṃ mahāvane

“This Blessed One is dwelling among the Sakyans, at Kapilavatthu in the Great Wood,

mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi sabbeheva arahantehi

together with a great community of bhikkhus, five hundred bhikkhus, all of them arahants,

dasahi ca lokadhātūhi devatā yebhuyyena sannipatitā honti bhagavantaṃ dassanāya bhikkhusaṅghañca.

and from ten world-systems the deities have for the most part gathered to see the Blessed One and the community of bhikkhus.

Yannūna mayampi yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkameyyāma.

What if we too were to approach the Blessed One,

Upasaṅkamitvā bhagavato santike paccekagāthā bhāseyyāmā”ti.

and having approached, each speak a verse in his presence?”

Atha kho tā devatā

Then those deities —

seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṃ vā bāhaṃ pasāreyya,

just as a strong man might extend his bent arm,

pasāritaṃ vā bāhaṃ samiñjeyya,

or bend his extended arm —

evameva suddhāvāsesu devesu antarahitā bhagavato purato pāturahaṃsu.

just so vanished from among the deities of the Pure Abodes and appeared before the Blessed One.

Atha kho tā devatā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhaṃsu.

Then those deities paid homage to the Blessed One and stood to one side.

Ekamantaṃ ṭhitā kho ekā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:

Standing to one side, one deity spoke this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:

Atha kho aparā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:

Then another deity spoke this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:
