Atha kho bhagavā—seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṁ vā bāhaṁ pasāreyya, pasāritaṁ vā bāhaṁ samiñjeyya; evameva—jetavane antarahito devesu tāvatiṁsesu pāturahosi.
Then the Buddha, 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.
Atha kho sambahulā tāvatiṁsakāyikā devatāyo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhaṁsu. Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho tā devatāyo bhagavā etadavoca:
Then several deities of the company of the thirty-three went up to the Buddha, bowed, and stood to one side. The Buddha said to them:
“Sādhu kho, āvuso, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanaṁ hoti—
“Reverends, it’s good to have experiential confidence in the Buddha. …
itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti.
Buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanahetu kho, āvuso, evam’idhekacce sattā sotāpannā avinipātadhammā niyatā sambodhiparāyaṇā.
It’s the reason why some sentient beings are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.
ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanaṁ hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi.
and to have the ethical conduct that’s loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion.
Ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanahetu kho, āvuso, evam’idhekacce sattā sotāpannā avinipātadhammā niyatā sambodhiparāyaṇā”ti.
It’s the reason why some sentient beings are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.”
“Sādhu kho, mārisa, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanaṁ hoti—
“Good fellow, it’s good to have experiential confidence in the Buddha …
itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti.
Buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanahetu kho, mārisa, evamayaṁ pajā sotāpannā avinipātadhammā niyatā sambodhiparāyaṇā.
It’s the reason why some sentient beings are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.

Mittāmaccā duve vuttā,
