《Toh 330 (Kangyur)》
CBETA 84K-toh330
Homage to all buddhas and bodhisattvas. Thus did I hear at one time. The Blessed One was staying in Śrāvastī, in the Jetavana, Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park, when a divine being Skt. (Mat.) has, in addition, atikrāṁtavarṇā atikrāntāyāṃ rātryāṃ (“of beautiful appearance, when the night was through”). approached the Blessed One, paid homage by bowing its head to the feet of the Blessed One, and sat down to one side. Skt. (Mat.) has, in addition, apīdānīṃ tasyā devatāyā varṇānubhāvena sarvaṃ jetavanam udāreṇāvabhāsena sphuṭam abhūt (“At this moment, through the power of the divine being’s appearance, the whole of Jetavana became filled with exalted splendor”). This accords with the framing narrative of The Devatā Sūtra (Toh 329). Thereupon the divine being asked the Blessed One: Skt. (Mat.) reads sā devatā tasyāṃ velāyāṃ gāthāṃ bhāṣate (“At this moment, the divine being utters this verse”). After the Blessed One had spoken thus, the divine being rejoiced and praised what the Blessed One had said. Translated, edited, and finalized by the senior editor and translator Bandé Yeshé Dé.
