Cittalatāvana
Person도리천에 있는 오백 유순 크기의 낙원으로, 마가의 아내 칫따의 공덕으로 생겨났으며 천 년에 한 번만 꽃 피우는 희귀한 아사와티 덩굴을 포함한 다채로운 꽃 덩굴 때문에 이 이름이 붙었다.
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.
