Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:Then, late at night, a glorious deity, lighting up the entire Jeta’s Grove, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him:

2.1“Sattime, bhante, dhammā bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattanti.“Sir, these seven things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant.2.2Katame satta?What seven?2.3Satthugāravatā, dhammagāravatā, saṅghagāravatā, sikkhāgāravatā, samādhigāravatā, appamādagāravatā, paṭisanthāragāravatā.Respect for the Teacher, for the teaching, for the Saṅgha, for the training, for immersion, for diligence, and for hospitality.2.4Ime kho, bhante, satta dhammā bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattantī”ti.These seven things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant.”

2.5Idamavoca sā devatā.That is what that deity said,2.6Samanuñño satthā ahosi.and the Teacher concurred.2.7Atha kho sā devatā “samanuñño me satthā”ti bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā tatthevantaradhāyi.Then that deity, knowing that the Teacher concurred, bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before vanishing right there.

3.1Atha kho bhagavā tassā rattiyā accayena bhikkhū āmantesi:Then, when the night had passed, the Buddha told the mendicants all that had happened, adding:3.2“imaṁ, bhikkhave, rattiṁ aññatarā devatā abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇā kevalakappaṁ jetavanaṁ obhāsetvā yenāhaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā maṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi.
