Venerable Mahāmoggallāna teaches the godlings Candana, Suyāma, Santusita, Sunimmita, and Vasavatti the benefits of refuge, experiential confidence in the Triple Gem, and noble ethics—applying the same formula as the discourse with Sakka in this grouped discourse.
Atha kho candano devaputto …pe….
Atha kho suyāmo devaputto …pe….
Atha kho santusito devaputto …pe….
Atha kho sunimmito devaputto …pe….
Atha kho vasavatti devaputto …pe….
(Yathā sakkasuttaṁ tathā ime pañca peyyālā vitthāretabbā.)
Ekādasamaṁ.
Moggallānavaggo paṭhamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Savitakkāvitakkañca,
sukhena ca upekkhako;
Ākāsañceva viññāṇaṁ,
ākiñcaṁ nevasaññinā;
Animitto ca sakko ca,
candanekādasena cāti.
Moggallānasaṁyuttaṁ samattaṁ.
