Cittalatāvana
Person三十三天にある五百由旬の楽園で、マーガの妻チッターの功徳によって生まれ、千年に一度しか咲かない稀少なアーサーヴァティーの蔓を含む色とりどりの花咲く蔓草にちなんで名付けられた。
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.
