Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā anuruddho kosalesu viharati aññatarasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe. At one time Venerable Anuruddha was staying in the land of the Kosalans in a certain forest grove. On one occasion the Venerable Anuruddha was dwelling among the Kosalans in a certain woodland thicket.

Atha kho aññatarā tāvatiṁsakāyikā devatā jālinī nāma āyasmato anuruddhassa purāṇadutiyikā yenāyasmā anuruddho tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ anuruddhaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi: Then a certain deity of the company of the thirty-three named Penelope had been Anuruddha’s partner in a former life. She went up to Anuruddha, and recited these verses: Then a certain devatā of the Tāvatiṃsa host named Jālinī, a former consort of the Venerable Anuruddha, approached him and addressed him in verse

“Tattha cittaṁ paṇidhehi, “Set your heart there, Direct your mind there [to that realm]

yattha te vusitaṁ pure; where you used to live: Where you dwelt in the past

Tāvatiṁsesu devesu, among the gods of the thirty-three, Among the Tāvatiṃsa devas

sabbakāmasamiddhisu; whose every desire is granted! For whom all desires are fulfilled.

Purakkhato parivuto, At the fore of a retinue You will shine forth highly honoured,

devakaññāhi sobhasī”ti. of divine maidens, you’ll shine!” Surrounded by celestial maidens.”

“Duggatā devakaññāyo, “Divine maidens are in a sorry state, “Miserable are celestial maidens,

sakkāyasmiṁ patiṭṭhitā; stuck in substantial reality. Established in identity;

Te cāpi duggatā sattā, And those beings too are in a sorry state, And miserable too are those beings,

devakaññāhi patthitā”ti. who are attached to divine maidens.” Attached to celestial maidens.”

“Na te sukhaṁ pajānanti, “They don’t know pleasure “They do not know bliss

ye na passanti nandanaṁ; who don’t see the Garden of Delight! Who have not seen Nandana,

Āvāsaṁ naradevānaṁ, It’s the abode of lordly gods, The abode of the glorious male devas

tidasānaṁ yasassinan”ti. the glorious host of Thirty!” Belonging to the host of Thirty.”

“Na tvaṁ bāle vijānāsi, “Fool, don’t you understand “Don’t you know, you fool,

yathā arahataṁ vaco; the saying of the perfected ones: That maxim of the arahants?

Aniccā sabbasaṅkhārā, All conditions are impermanent, Impermanent are all formations;

uppādavayadhammino; their nature is to rise and fall; Their nature is to arise and vanish.

Uppajjitvā nirujjhanti, having arisen, they cease; Having arisen, they cease:

tesaṁ vūpasamo sukho. their settling is such bliss. Their appeasement is blissful.

Natthi dāni punāvāso, O Penelope, weaver of the web—“Now I will never again dwell

devakāyasmi jālini; there are no more abodes for me in the heavenly host. Among the deva host, Jālinī!

Vikkhīṇo jātisaṁsāro, Transmigration through births is finished, The wandering on in birth is ended:

natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti. now there’ll be no more future lives.” Now there is no more renewed existence.”
