Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Kosambī in Ghosita’s monastery.

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā anuruddho divāvihāraṁ gato hoti paṭisallīno.

Now at that time Venerable Anuruddha had gone into retreat for the day’s meditation.

Then several deities of the Agreeable Host went up to Venerable Anuruddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him:
7

“मयं,ma·yaṃ भन्तेbhan·te अनुरुद्ध,a·nu·rud·dha मनापकायिकाma·nā·pa·kā·yi·kā नामnā·ma देवताde·va·tā तीसुtī·su ठानेसुṭhā·ne·su इस्सरियंis·sa·ri·yaṃ कारेमkā·re·ma वसंva·saṃ वत्तेम।vat·te·ma

“mayaṁ, bhante anuruddha, manāpakāyikā nāma devatā tīsu ṭhānesu issariyaṁ kārema vasaṁ vattema.

“Honorable Anuruddha, we are the deities called ‘Agreeable’. We wield authority and control over three things.

Then Venerable Anuruddha thought,
13

“If only these deities would all turn blue, of blue color, clad in blue, adorned with blue!”

Atha kho tā devatā āyasmato anuruddhassa cittamaññāya sabbāva nīlā ahesuṁ nīlavaṇṇā nīlavatthā nīlālaṅkārā.

Then those deities, knowing Anuruddha’s thought, all turned blue.
15

Then Venerable Anuruddha thought,
16

Atha kho tā devatā āyasmato anuruddhassa cittamaññāya sabbāva odātā ahesuṁ odātavaṇṇā odātavatthā odātālaṅkārā.

Then those deities, knowing Anuruddha’s thought, all turned white.
20

Then one of those deities sang, one danced, and one snapped her fingers.

Suppose there was a quintet made up of skilled musicians who had practiced well and kept excellent rhythm. They’d sound graceful, tantalizing, sensuous, endearing, and intoxicating.
22

evamevaṁ tāsaṁ devatānaṁ alaṅkārānaṁ saddo hoti vaggu ca rajanīyo ca kamanīyo ca pemanīyo ca madanīyo ca.

In the same way the performance by those deities sounded graceful, tantalizing, sensuous, endearing, and intoxicating.
23

But Venerable Anuruddha averted his senses.

Atha kho tā devatā “na khvayyo anuruddho sādiyatī”ti tatthevantaradhāyiṁsu.

Then those deities, thinking “Master Anuruddha isn’t enjoying this,” vanished right there.
25

Then in the late afternoon, Anuruddha came out of retreat and went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened, adding:
26

“इधाहं,i·dhā·haṃ भन्ते,bhan·te दिवाविहारंdi·vā·vi·hā·raṃ गतोga·to होमिho·mi पटिसल्लीनो।pa·ṭi·sal·lī·no
