So I have heard. Evaṁ me sutaṁ—At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof. ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.

Then, late at night, the glorious Kokanadā, Pajjunna’s daughter, lighting up the entire Great Wood, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, Atha kho kokanadā pajjunnassa dhītā abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇā kevalakappaṁ mahāvanaṁ obhāsetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. and recited these verses in the Buddha’s presence: Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā kokanadā pajjunnassa dhītā bhagavato santike imā gāthāyo abhāsi:

“Staying in the woods of Vesālī “Vesāliyaṁ vane viharantaṁ, is the Buddha, best of creation. Aggaṁ sattassa sambuddhaṁ; Kokanadā am I who worships him, Kokanadāhamasmi abhivande, Kokanadā, Pajjuna’s daughter. Kokanadā pajjunnassa dhītā.
Previously I had only heard Sutameva pure āsi, the teaching realized by the Clear-eyed One. Dhammo cakkhumatānubuddho; But now I know it as a witness Sāhaṁ dāni sakkhi jānāmi, while the sage, the Holy One teaches. Munino desayato sugatassa.
There are simpletons who go about Ye keci ariyaṁ dhammaṁ, denouncing the teaching of the noble ones. Vigarahantā caranti dummedhā; They fall into the terrible Hell of Screams Upenti roruvaṁ ghoraṁ, where they suffer long. Cirarattaṁ dukkhaṁ anubhavanti.
There are those who have found <j>acceptance and peace Ye ca kho ariye dhamme, in the teaching of the noble ones. Khantiyā upasamena upetā; After giving up this human body, Pahāya mānusaṁ dehaṁ, they swell the hosts of gods.” Devakāyaṁ paripūressantī”ti.

4. The Host of a Hundred Felicities

With Pajjunna’s Daughter (1st)

So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof.

Then, late at night, the glorious Kokanadā, Pajjunna’s daughter, lighting up the entire Great Wood, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and recited these verses in the Buddha’s presence:

“Staying in the woods of Vesālī is the Buddha, best of creation. Kokanadā am I who worships him, Kokanadā, Pajjuna’s daughter.
Previously I had only heard the teaching realized by the Clear-eyed One. But now I know it as a witness while the sage, the Holy One teaches.
There are simpletons who go about denouncing the teaching of the noble ones. They fall into the terrible Hell of Screams where they suffer long.
There are those who have found <j>acceptance and peace in the teaching of the noble ones. After giving up this human body, they swell the hosts of gods.”

Paṭhamapajjunnadhītusutta

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.

Atha kho kokanadā pajjunnassa dhītā abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇā kevalakappaṁ mahāvanaṁ obhāsetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā kokanadā pajjunnassa dhītā bhagavato santike imā gāthāyo abhāsi:

“Vesāliyaṁ vane viharantaṁ, Aggaṁ sattassa sambuddhaṁ; Kokanadāhamasmi abhivande, Kokanadā pajjunnassa dhītā.
Sutameva pure āsi, Dhammo cakkhumatānubuddho; Sāhaṁ dāni sakkhi jānāmi, Munino desayato sugatassa.
Ye keci ariyaṁ dhammaṁ, Vigarahantā caranti dummedhā; Upenti roruvaṁ ghoraṁ, Cirarattaṁ dukkhaṁ anubhavanti.
Ye ca kho ariye dhamme, Khantiyā upasamena upetā; Pahāya mānusaṁ dehaṁ, Devakāyaṁ paripūressantī”ti.
