[888] Bhikkhus, Sakka, lord of the devas (devānaṃ inda), saw Vepacitti, lord of the asuras (asurinda), coming while still far off. Having seen him, he said this to Vepacitti, lord of the asuras: "Stop, Vepacitti! You are caught!" "Dear sir (mārisa), the very mind (citta) that was yours before — are you, dear sir, abandoning that very mind?" "And swear to me, Vepacitti, that you will not betray me."
