Maha-Samaya Sutta
The Great Meeting

Translator’s Introduction
This discourse is an interesting example of the folklore of the Pali
Canon. It shows that the tendency of Asian popular Buddhism to regard
the Buddha as a protective figure, and not just as a teacher, has its
roots in the earliest part of the tradition. Metrical analysis indicates
that the long “tribute” section of this discourse is very old, while
the verses in the introductory section — which is also found in the
Samyutta Nikaya — are later in form. This fits with a more subjective
judgment: that the tribute was an earlier composition — in the
honorific style of the ancient court bards — to which the introduction
was added later. This judgment is based on the fact that the two
sections do not quite fit each other. The introduction to the tribute
indicates that the reciter of the tribute is the Buddha himself, whereas
the narration in the tribute indicates otherwise.
At any rate, this discourse is the closest thing in the Pali Canon to
a “who’s who” of the deva worlds, and should provide useful material
for anyone interested in the cosmology of early Buddhism.
The Commentary reports the belief that the devas enjoy hearing this
discourse chanted in Pali. Until recently it was part of many monks’
standard memorized repertoire, to be chanted at weddings and the
dedication of new buildings. Even today, as many of the traditions of
memorization in Asia seem to be falling by the wayside, there are a few
monks and laypeople who chant this discourse regularly.
I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling among the Sakyans at Kapilavatthu
in the Great Wood, together with a large Sangha of approximately five
hundred bhikkhus, all of them arahants. And most of the devatas from ten
world-systems had gathered in order to see the Blessed One and the
Bhikkhu Sangha. Then the thought occurred to four devatas of the ranks
from the Pure Abodes: “The Blessed One is dwelling among the Sakyans at
Kapilavatthu in the Great Wood, together with a large Sangha of about
five hundred bhikkhus, all of them arahants. And most of the devatas
from ten world-systems have gathered in order to see the Blessed One and
the Bhikkhu Sangha. Let us also approach the Blessed One and, on
arrival, let us each speak a verse in his presence.”
Then, just as a strong man might extend his
flexed arm or flex his extended arm, those devatas disappeared from
among the devas of the Pure Abodes and reappeared before the Blessed
One. Having paid homage to the Blessed One, they stood to one side. As
they were standing there, one devata recited this verse in the Blessed
One’s presence:
A great meeting in the woods:
The deva hosts have assembled.
We have come to this Dhamma meeting
To see the invincible Sangha.
Then another devata recited this verse in the Blessed One’s presence:
The bhikkhus there are concentrated,
Have straightened their own minds.
Like a charioteer holding the reins,
The wise ones guard their faculties.
Then another devata recited this verse in the Blessed One’s presence:
Having cut through barrenness, cut the cross-bar,
Having uprooted Indra’s pillar, unstirred,
They wander about pure, unstained,
Young nagas well tamed by the One with Vision.
Then another devata recited this verse in the Blessed One’s presence:
Those who have gone to the Buddha for refuge
Will not go to the plane of woe.
On discarding the human body,
They will fill the hosts of the devas.
Then the Blessed One addressed the monks: “Monks, most of the devatas
from ten world-systems have gathered in order to see the Tathagata and
the Bhikkhu Sangha. Those who, in the past, were Pure Ones, Rightly
Self-awakened, at most had their devata-gathering like mine at the
present. Those who, in the future, will be Pure Ones, Rightly
Self-awakened, will at most have their devata-gathering like mine at the
present. I will detail for you the names of the deva hosts. I will
describe to you the names of the deva hosts. I will teach you the names
of the deva hosts. Listen and pay close attention. I will speak.”
“As you say, lord,” the monks replied. The Blessed One said:
I recite a verse of tribute.
Those who live where spirits dwell,
who live in mountain caves,
resolute, concentrated,
many, like hidden lions,
who have overcome horripilation,
white-hearted, pure,
serene, and undisturbed:
Knowing that more than 500 of them
had come to the forest of Kapilavatthu,
the Teacher then said to them,
disciples delighting in his instruction,
“The deva hosts have approached.
Detect them, monks!”
Listening to the Awakened One’s instruction,
they made a diligent effort.
Knowledge appeared to them,
vision of non-human beings.
Some saw 100, some 1,000, some 70,000,
some had vision of 100,000 non-human beings.
Some gained vision of innumerable devas
filling every direction.
Realizing all this,
the One-with-Vision felt moved to speak.
The Teacher then said to them,
disciples delighting in his instruction,
“The deva hosts have approached.
Detect them, monks,
as I describe their glories, one by one.
7,000 yakkhas inhabiting the land of Kapilavatthu,
powerful, effulgent,

, and their kin.
And from the River Yamuna

They who swoop down swiftly on naga kings,
divine, twice-born, winged, their eyesight pure:
(Garudas) came from the sky to the midst of the forest.
Citra
and Supanna are their names.
But the Buddha made the naga kings safe,
made them secure from Supanna.
Addressing one another with affectionate words,
the nagas and Supannas made the Buddha their refuge.
“Defeated by Indra of the thunderbolt hand,
Asuras
dwelling in the ocean,
Vasava
’s brothers — powerful, prestigious —
Greatly terrifying Kalakañjas,
the Danaveghasa asuras

rejoicing, have approached

the devas dependent on the moon
surrounding the moon have come.
The devas dependent on the sun
surrounding the sun have come.

and the sprites of the clouds have come.

, chief of the Vasus, the ancient donor, has come.

blazing like crests of fire-flame.

glamorous, prestigious,
rejoicing, have approached
the monks’ forest meeting.

the Nimmanaratis have come,
as have the Paranimmitas.
These ten ten-fold hosts, all of varied hue,
powerful, effulgent,
glamorous, prestigious,
rejoicing, have approached
the monks’ forest meeting.
These 60 deva groups, all of varied hue,
have come arranged in order,
together with others in like manner
[thinking:]
‘We’ll see him who has transcended birth,
who has no bounds,
who has crossed over the flood,
the Mighty One, beyond evil,
like the moon released from a cloud.’
Subrahma and Paramatta Brahma,
together with sons of the Powerful One,
Sanankumara
and Tissa:
They too have come to the forest meeting.
Great Brahma, who stands over
1,000 Brahma worlds,
who arose there spontaneously, effulgent:
Prestigious is he, with a terrifying body.
And ten brahma sovereigns,
each the lord of his own realm —
and in their midst has come
Harita Brahma surrounded by his retinue.”
When all these devas
with Indras and Brahmas had come,
Mara
came as well.
Now look at the Dark One’s foolishness!
[He said:] “Come seize them! Bind them!
Tie them down with passion!
Surround them on every side!
Don’t let anyone at all escape!”
Thus the great war-lord urged on his dark army,
slapping the ground with his hand,
making a horrendous din, as when
a storm cloud bursts with thunder,
lightening, and torrents of rain.
But then he withdrew-enraged,
with none under his sway.
Realizing all this,
the One-with-Vision felt moved to speak.
The Teacher then said to them,
disciples delighting in his instruction,
“Mara’s army has approached.
Detect them, monks!”
Listening to the Awakened One’s instruction,
they made a diligent effort.
The army retreated
from those without passion,
without raising even a hair on their bodies.
Having all won the battle
– prestigious, past fear —
they rejoice with all beings:
Disciples outstanding among the human race.
