Cittalatāvana
PersonEin fünfhundert Meilen großer Lustgarten im Tāvatiṃsa-Himmel, der durch das Verdienst von Māghas Frau Cittā entstand und nach seinen vielfarbigen blühenden Ranken benannt wurde, darunter die seltene Āsāvatī-Ranke, die nur einmal in tausend Jahren blüht.
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.
