The Discourse on Piyaṅkara
240.
On one occasion the Venerable Anuruddha was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's park.
Now at that time the Venerable Anuruddha, having risen towards the break of dawn, was reciting passages of the Teaching.
Then Piyaṅkara's mother, a demoness, thus pleased her little son -
"Do not make a sound, Piyaṅkara, the monk is reciting passages of the Teaching;
But yet having understood the passage of the Teaching, we might proceed for our welfare.
"And we would restrain ourselves towards living beings, we would not speak a conscious lie;
We would train in our own good virtue, perhaps we might be released from the realm of goblins."
