Then several deities of the company of the Thirty-Three went up to Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, bowed, and stood to one side. Moggallāna said to them:

“My good Moggallāna, it’s good to have experiential confidence in the Buddha …
“Sādhu kho, mārisa moggallāna, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanaṁ hoti—
