[348] Eight assemblies (parisā): 1. The assembly of khattiyas 2. The assembly of brahmins 3. The assembly of householders 4. The assembly of ascetics (samaṇa) 5. The assembly of the gods of the Four Great Kings (Cātummahārājikā) 6. The assembly of the Tāvatiṃsa gods 7. The assembly of the Nimmānarati gods 8. The assembly of Brahmā. [Editions note: For this assembly the Siam Raṭṭha edition reads 'nimmānarati-parisā' (the assembly of the Nimmānarati gods; its own footnote records the variant 'māra-parisā'), while the Mahāsaṅgīti and PTS editions read 'māra-parisā' (the assembly of Māras). This translation follows the Siam Raṭṭha reading.]
