AN 3.70: Muluposatha Sutta: The Roots of the Uposatha

"There is the case where the disciple of the noble ones recollects the devas, thus: 'There are the Devas of the Four Great Kings, the Devas of the Thirty-three, the Yama Devas, the Contented Devas, the devas who delight in creation, the devas who have power over the creations of others, the devas of Brahma's retinue, the devas beyond them. Whatever conviction they were endowed with that — when falling away from this life — they re-arose there, the same sort of conviction is present in me as well. Whatever virtue they were endowed with that — when falling away from this life — they re-arose there, the same sort of virtue is present in me as well. Whatever learning they were endowed with that — when falling away from this life — they re-arose there, the same sort of learning is present in me as well. Whatever generosity they were endowed with that — when falling away from this life — they re-arose there, the same sort of generosity is present in me as well. Whatever discernment they were endowed with that — when falling away from this life — they re-arose there, the same sort of discernment is present in me as well.' As he is recollecting the devas, his mind is calmed, and joy arises; the defilements of his mind are abandoned, just as when gold is cleansed through the proper technique. And how is gold cleansed through the proper technique? Through the use of a furnace, salt earth, red chalk, a blow-pipe, tongs, & the appropriate human effort. This is how gold is cleansed through the proper technique. In the same way, the defiled mind is cleansed through the proper technique. And how is the defiled mind cleansed through the proper technique? There is the case where the disciple of the noble ones recollects the devas... As he is recollecting the devas, his mind is cleansed, and joy arises; the defilements of his mind are abandoned. He is thus called a disciple of the noble ones undertaking the Deva-Uposatha. He lives with the devas. It is owing to the devas that his mind is calmed, that joy arises, and that whatever defilements there are in his mind are abandoned. This is how the mind is cleansed through the proper technique.

[(6) RECOLLECTION OF DEITIES]
115. One who wants to develop the recollection of deities should possess
the special qualities of faith, etc., evoked by means of the noble path,
and he should go into solitary retreat and recollect his own special quali-
ties of faith, etc., with deities standing as witnesses, as follows:
'There are deities of the Realm of the Four Kings (devacatu-
maharajika), there are deities of the Realm of the Thirty-three (deva
tavatimsa), there are the deities who are Gone to Divine Bliss (yama) ...
who are Contented (tusita)... who Delight in Creating (nimmanarati)...


who Wield Power Over Others' Creations (paranimmitavasavatti), there
are deities of Brahma's Retinue (brahmakayika), there are deities higher
than that. And those deities were possessed of faith such that on dying
here they were reborn there, and such faith is present in me too. And
those deities were possessed of virtue ... of learning ... of generosity ... of
understanding such that when they died here they were reborn there, and
such understanding is present in me too' (A.iii,287).
116. In the sutta, however, it is said: 'On the occasion, Mahanama, on
which a noble disciple recollects the faith, the virtue, the learning, the
generosity, and the understanding that are both his own and those
deities', on that occasion his mind is not obsessed by greed ...' (A.iii,
287). Although this is said, it should nevertheless be understood as said
for the purpose of showing that the special qualities of faith, etc., in
oneself are those in the deities, making the deities stand as witnesses.
For it is said definitely in the Commentary: *He recollects his own spe-
cial qualities, making the deities stand as witnesses'.
117. As long as in the prior stage he recollects the deities' special quali-
ties of faith, etc., and in the later stage he recollects the special qualities
of faith, etc., existing in himself, then: 'On that occasion his mind is not
obsessed by greed, or obsessed by hate, or obsessed by delusion, his
mind has rectitude on that occasion, being inspired by deities' (A.iii,
288).
So when he has suppressed the hindrances in the way already stated
(§66), the jhana factors arise in a single conscious moment. But owing to
the profundity of the special qualities of faith, etc., or owing to his being
occupied in recollecting special qualities of many sorts, the jhana is only
access and does not reach absorption. And that access jhana itself is
known as 'recollection of deities' too because it arises with the deities
special qualities as the means. [226]
118. And when a bhikkhu is devoted to this recollection of deities, he
becomes dearly loved by deities. He obtains even greater fullness of
faith. He has much happiness and gladness. And if he penetrates no
higher, he is at least headed for a happy destiny.
Now when a man is truly wise,
His constant task will surely be
This recollection of deities
Blessed with such mighty potency.
This is the section dealing with the recollection of deities in the
detailed explanation.
