Devahitabrahmana Vatthu




Dhammapada Verse 423

Pubbenivasam yo vedi
saggapayanca passati
atho jatikkhayam patto
abhinnavosito muni
sabbavositavosanam
tamaham brumi brahmanam.

Verse 423: Him I call a brahmana, who knows past existences, who sees the celestial as well as the lower worlds, who has reached the end of rebirths, who, with Magga Insight, has become an arahat and has accomplished all that is to be accomplished for the eradication of moral defilements.

The Story of Devahita the Brahmin

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (423) of this book, with reference to Devahita, a brahmin.

On one occasion, the Buddha suffered from a gastric ailment and he sent Thera Upavana to get some hot water from Devahita the brahmin. The brahmin was very pleased to have this rare opportunity to offer something to the Buddha. So, in addition to hot water he also gave the thera some molasses for the Buddha. At the monastery Thera Upavana gave a warm bath to the Buddha; after the bath he offered the Buddha a mixture of molasses and hot water. After drinking the mixture there was instant relief. The brahmin then came and asked the Buddha, "Venerable Sir! An offering made to whom gives one the greatest benefit?" To him the Buddha said, "Brahmin! An offering made to one who has given up all evil is the most beneficial."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 423: Him I call a brahmana, who knows past existences, who sees the celestial as well as the lower worlds, who has reached the end of rebirths, who, with Magga Insight, has become an arahat and has accomplished all that is to be accomplished for the eradication of moral defilements.

At the end of the discourse the brahmana became established in the faith in the Three Gems (the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Samgha) and became a lay-disciple of the Buddha.

天作的供養


智者(牟尼)明白自己的前生，明辨天界和惡道，不再輪迴，證得無上智，而且一切圓滿的成就，我稱之為婆羅門。(偈 423)

　　佛陀有一次胃痛，他就請優波摩尊者前去向天作化緣，要一些熱水。天作很高興有這麼難得的機緣，就供養佛陀熱水和一些蜜糖。回到精舍後，尊者為佛陀準備好熱水，讓佛陀沐浴，沐浴後，尊者又為佛陀準備摻有熱水的蜜糖讓佛陀喝。佛陀喝下以後，胃舒服多了，天作就請教佛陀：「尊者，供養什麼人的功德較大？」佛陀說：「天作，供養不再作惡的人，功德最大。」
