2. With Anāthapiṇḍika
With Vishnu
1 Standing to one side, the godling Vishnu spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
2 “Happy are the men
who pay homage to the Holy One!
They apply themselves to Gotama’s instructions,
diligently training.”
3 “Those who practice absorption
in accord with the training”, said the Buddha to Vishnu,
“in the way of teaching I’ve proclaimed,
diligent while there is still time;
they won’t fall under the sway of Death.”
