Cittalatāvana
PersonUn parc de plaisance de cinq cents lieues au paradis Tāvatiṃsa, né du mérite de Cittā, l épouse de Māgha, nommé pour ses lianes fleuries multicolores, dont la rare liane Āsāvatī qui ne fleurit qu une fois tous les mille ans.
A pleasance, five hundred leagues in extent, in Tāvatiṃsa. It came into being through the good deeds performed by Māgha’s wife, Cittā (DhA.i.271-5; J.i.202). It is said (VvA.94) that the place was so called not only because of its association with Cittā, but also because there grew in it various creepers bearing many coloured flowers. In the pleasance is born the Āsāvatī creeper which blossoms only once in a thousand years. ThagA.i.365; J.iii.250.
