[1671] And while this exposition was being spoken, there arose in the Venerable Koṇḍañña the dustless, stainless eye of the Dhamma (dhammacakkhu): "Whatever is subject to origination, all that is subject to cessation." And when the Wheel of Dhamma (dhammacakka) had been set rolling by the Blessed One, the earth-dwelling deities (bhummā devā) raised the cry: "At Bārāṇasī, in the Deer Park at Isipatana, this unsurpassed Wheel of Dhamma has been set rolling by the Blessed One, not to be turned back by any ascetic or brahmin or deity or Māra or Brahmā or by anyone in the world." Having heard the cry of the earth-dwelling deities, the deities of the Four Great Kings (Cātummahārājikā) raised the cry: "At Bārāṇasī, in the Deer Park at Isipatana, this unsurpassed Wheel of Dhamma has been set rolling by the Blessed One, not to be turned back by any ascetic or brahmin or deity or Māra or Brahmā or by anyone in the world." Having heard the cry of the deities of the Four Great Kings, the Tāvatiṃsa deities … the Yāmā deities … the Tusitā deities … the Nimmānaratī deities … the Paranimmitavasavattī deities … the deities of Brahmā's retinue (Brahmakāyikā) raised the cry: "At Bārāṇasī, in the Deer Park at Isipatana, this unsurpassed Wheel of Dhamma has been set rolling by the Blessed One, not to be turned back by any ascetic or brahmin or deity or Māra or Brahmā or by anyone in the world."
