The Story of the Buddha's Return from the Tavatimsa Deva World
On return from the Tavatimsa deva world, the Buddha uttered Verse (181) of this book at Sankassanagara, in reply to Thera Sariputta's words of welcome.
On one occasion, while at Savatthi, the Buddha performed the Miracle of the Pairs in answer to the challenge of the ascetics of various sects. After this, the Buddha went to the Tavatimsa deva world; his mother who had been reborn in the Tusita deva world as a deva known as Santusita also came to the Tavatimsa deva world. There the Buddha expounded the Abhidhamma to the devas and the brahmas throughout the three months of the vassa. As a result, Santusita deva attained Sotapatti Fruition; so did numerous other devas and brahmas.
During that period Thera Sariputta spent the vassa at Sankassanagara, thirty yojanas away from Savatthi. During his stay there, as regularly instructed by the Buddha, he taught the Abhidhamma to the five hundred bhikkhus staying with him and covered the whole course by the end of the vassa.
Towards the end of the vassa, Thera Maha Moggalana went to the Tavatimsa deva world to see the Buddha. Then, he was told that the Buddha would return to the human world on the full moon day at the end of the vassa to the place where Thera Sariputta was spending the vassa.
As promised, the Buddha came with the six coloured rays shining forth from his body to the city-gate of Sankassanagara, on the night of the full moon day of the month of Assayuja when the moon was shining brightly. He was accompanied by a large following of devas on one side and a large following of brahmas on the other. A large gathering headed by Thera Sariputta welcomed the Buddha back to this world; and the whole town was lit up. Thera Sariputta was awed by the grandeur and glory of the whole scene of the Buddha's return. He respectfully approached the Buddha and said, "Venerable Sir! We have never seen or even heard of such magnificent and resplendent glory. Indeed, Venerable Sir, you are loved, respected and revered alike by devas, brahmas and men!" To him the Buddha said, "My son Sariputta, the Buddhas who are endowed with unique qualities are truly loved by men and devas alike."
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
| Verse 181: The wise who practise jhana concentration and Insight Meditation take delight in the peace of liberation from sensual pleasures and moral defilements. Such wise and mindful ones, who truly comprehend the Four Noble Truths (i.e., Arahats and Buddhas) are held dear also by the devas. |
At the end of the discourse the five hundred bhikkhus who were the pupils of Thera Sariputta attained arahatship and a great many from the congregation attained Sotapatti Fruition.
佛陀從忉利天返回世間
修習禪定(註1)，歡喜涅槃寂靜，正念正覺的佛陀，諸天也敬愛。 (偈 181)
有一次，佛陀在舍衛城時，接受外道的挑戰，而展現了雙料神通 。事後，佛陀到忉利天講授三個月的阿毗達摩（論），往生兜率天的摩耶夫人也來聽佛陀說法。聽完佛陀的說法後，摩耶夫人、眾多天神和婆羅門都證得初果。
這時候，舍利弗尊者在舍衛城結夏安居，佛陀指示舍利弗向其他比丘講解阿毗達摩。舍利弗尊者就利用三個月結夏安居期間，講完一整部的阿毗達摩。
結夏安居即將結束時，大目犍連尊者到忉利天去面見佛陀。佛陀告訴他，預計於安居結束後的月圓之日回到人間。並會降臨舍利弗尊者安居的山卡沙市。
十月至十一月之間的月圓之月，佛陀身上放出六道祥光，降臨山卡沙市。許多天神和婆羅門陪伴佛陀返回人間，舍利弗尊者則率領大眾歡迎佛陀，大眾懍然讚嘆佛陀返回人間的盛大輝煌。舍利弗尊者向佛陀頂禮問訊後說：
「世尊，我們從未目睹或想像過如此壯觀盛大的榮耀。事實上，世尊！你為天、人和婆羅門所喜愛、禮敬！」
「舍利弗啊！天人確實敬愛所有具足究竟智慧的諸佛。」佛陀如此回答舍利弗。
註１：此處的禪定指的是止觀。
