With AnuruddhaAnuruddhasutta

At one time Venerable Anuruddha was staying in the land of the Kosalans in a certain forest grove.Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā anuruddho kosalesu viharati aññatarasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe.

Then a certain deity of the company of the thirty-three named Penelope had been Anuruddha’s partner in a former life. She went up to Anuruddha, and recited these verses:Atha kho aññatarā tāvatiṁsakāyikā devatā jālinī nāma āyasmato anuruddhassa purāṇadutiyikā yenāyasmā anuruddho tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ anuruddhaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“Set your heart there,“Tattha cittaṁ paṇidhehi, where you used to live:yattha te vusitaṁ pure; among the gods of the thirty-three,Tāvatiṁsesu devesu, whose every desire is granted!sabbakāmasamiddhisu; At the fore of a retinuePurakkhato parivuto, of divine maidens, you’ll shine!”devakaññāhi sobhasī”ti.

“Divine maidens are in a sorry state,“Duggatā devakaññāyo, stuck in substantial reality.sakkāyasmiṁ patiṭṭhitā; And those beings too are in a sorry state,Te cāpi duggatā sattā, who are attached to divine maidens.”devakaññāhi patthitā”ti.

“They don’t know pleasure“Na te sukhaṁ pajānanti, who don’t see the Garden of Delight!ye na passanti nandanaṁ; It’s the abode of lordly gods,Āvāsaṁ naradevānaṁ, the glorious host of Thirty!”tidasānaṁ yasassinan”ti.

“Fool, don’t you understand“Na tvaṁ bāle vijānāsi, the saying of the perfected ones:yathā arahataṁ vaco; All conditions are impermanent,Aniccā sabbasaṅkhārā, their nature is to rise and fall;uppādavayadhammino; having arisen, they cease;Uppajjitvā nirujjhanti, their settling is such bliss.tesaṁ vūpasamo sukho.

O Penelope, weaver of the web—Natthi dāni punāvāso, there are no more abodes for me in the heavenly host.devakāyasmi jālini; Transmigration through births is finished,Vikkhīṇo jātisaṁsāro, now there’ll be no more future lives.”natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.
