Cittalatāvana
Person忉利天中方圆五百由旬的一处乐园,因摩伽之妻质多的福德而生成,得名于园中繁花似锦的各色藤蔓,其中稀有的阿萨瓦提藤千年方才一开。
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.
