The Discourse on Anuruddha

226.More DetailsCommentaries On one occasion the Venerable Anuruddha was dwelling among the Kosalans in a certain jungle thicket. Then a certain deity of the host of the Thirty-three gods, named Jālinī, the Venerable Anuruddha's former wife, approached the Venerable Anuruddha; having approached, she addressed the Venerable Anuruddha in verse -

"Direct your mind there, where you dwelt in the past;

Among the Thirty-three gods, endowed with all sensual pleasures;

Honoured and surrounded by heavenly maidens, you will shine."

[Anuruddha:] "Ill-fated are the heavenly maidens, established in identity;

And those beings too are ill-fated, who are desired by heavenly maidens."

[Jālinī:] 'They do not know bliss who have not seen the Garden of Delight,

The abode of the glorious male gods belonging to the host of Thirty-three gods.'

[Anuruddha:] 'Don’t you know, you fool, that maxim of the the Worthy Ones?

Impermanent are all activities; their nature is to arise and fall.

Having arisen, they cease; their appeasement is blissful.

"There is now no further abiding [for me] in the host of gods, Jālinī;

The cycle of wandering on in birth is ended. There is now no more rebirth."
