Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:

Bhagavā etadavoca:

“Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, aññatarā tāvatiṁsakāyikā devatā nandane vane accharāsaṅghaparivutā dibbehi pañcahi kāmaguṇehi samappitā samaṅgībhūtā paricārayamānā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

‘Na te sukhaṁ pajānanti,

ye na passanti nandanaṁ;

Āvāsaṁ naradevānaṁ,

tidasānaṁ yasassinan’ti.

Evaṁ vutte, bhikkhave, aññatarā devatā taṁ devataṁ gāthāya paccabhāsi:

‘Na tvaṁ bāle pajānāsi,

yathā arahataṁ vaco;

Aniccā sabbasaṅkhārā,

uppādavayadhammino;

Uppajjitvā nirujjhanti,

tesaṁ vūpasamo sukho’”ti.
