At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain.

Then, late at night, two glorious deities, lighting up the entire Vulture’s Peak, went up to the Buddha, bowed, and stood to one side. One deity said to him,
7

“एता,e·tā भन्ते,bhan·te भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo विमुत्ता”ति।vi·mut·tā

“etā, bhante, bhikkhuniyo vimuttā”ti.

“Sir, these nuns are freed!”

The other deity said to him,

“etā, bhante, bhikkhuniyo anupādisesā suvimuttā”ti.

“Sir, these nuns are well freed with no residue!”
10

इदमवोचुंi·da·ma·vo·cuṃ ताtā देवता।de·va·tā

This is what those deities said,
11

Samanuñño satthā ahosi.

and the Teacher concurred.
12

Atha kho tā devatā “samanuñño satthā”ti bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā tatthevantaradhāyiṁsu.

Then those deities, knowing that the Teacher concurred, bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on their right, before vanishing right there.
13

Then, when the night had passed, the Buddha told the mendicants all that had happened.
14

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā mahāmoggallāno bhagavato avidūre nisinno hoti.

Now at that time Venerable Mahāmoggallāna was sitting not far from the Buddha.
21

He thought,

“katamesānaṁ kho devānaṁ evaṁ ñāṇaṁ hoti:

“Which gods know whether a person has remainder or not?”
23

Tena kho pana samayena tisso nāma bhikkhu adhunākālaṅkato aññataraṁ brahmalokaṁ upapanno hoti.

Now, at that time a monk named Tissa had recently passed away and been reborn in a realm of divinity.
25

तत्रापिtat·rā·pi नंnaṃ एवंe·vaṃ जानन्ति:jā·nan·ti

Tatrāpi naṁ evaṁ jānanti:

There they knew that
26

“tisso brahmā mahiddhiko mahānubhāvo”ti.

Tissa the Divinity was very mighty and powerful.
27

And then Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, vanished from the Vulture’s Peak and reappeared in that realm of divinity.

Tissa saw Moggallāna coming off in the distance,

and said to him,

“Come, my good Moggallāna!

Moggallāna sat down on the seat spread out.

Tissopi kho brahmā āyasmantaṁ mahāmoggallānaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.

Then Tissa bowed to Moggallāna and sat to one side.

Moggallāna said to him,
