Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

Then, late at night, several glorious deities of the host of the fault-finders, lighting up the entire Jeta’s Grove, went up to the Buddha, and stood in the air.

The attentive certainly don’t act like that,

Atha kho tā devatāyo pathaviyaṁ patiṭṭhahitvā bhagavato pādesu sirasā nipatitvā bhagavantaṁ etadavocuṁ:

Then those deities landed on the ground, bowed with their heads to the Buddha’s feet and said,
26

“अच्चयोac·ca·yo नो,no भन्ते,bhan·te अच्चगमाac·ca·ga·mā यथाबालंya·thā·bā·laṃ यथामूळ्हंya·thā·mū·ḷhaṃ यथाअकुसलं,ya·thā·a·ku·sa·laṃ याyā मयंma·yaṃ भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ आसादेतब्बंā·sā·de·tab·baṃ अमञ्ञिम्हा।a·mañ·ñim·hā

“We made a mistake, sir. It was foolish, stupid, and unskillful of us to presume to attack the Buddha!

Please, sir, accept our mistake for what it is, so we will restrain ourselves in future.”
28

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā सितंsi·taṃ पात्वाकासि।pāt·vā·kā·si

Atha kho bhagavā sitaṁ pātvākāsi.

At that, the Buddha smiled.

Atha kho tā devatāyo bhiyyoso mattāya ujjhāyantiyo vehāsaṁ abbhuggañchuṁ.

Then those deities, becoming even more fault-finding, flew up in the air.
30
