[197] "The gods rejoice indeed, sirs—
the Tāvatiṃsa gods together with their Inda—
revering the Tathāgata
and the excellence of the Dhamma;
and seeing the new gods,
beautiful and glorious,
who have come here after living
the holy life (brahmacariya) under the Sugata.
They outshine the others
in beauty, in glory, and in lifespan—
disciples of the one of vast wisdom,
who have attained distinction here.
Seeing this, they delight—
the Tāvatiṃsa gods together with their Inda—
revering the Tathāgata
and the excellence of the Dhamma."
