1.3.5 The Frog Transforms into a Deva*
Once before I was a frog, a water dwelling being
While I was listening to the Dhamma preached by you I was killed by a cowherd
A moment of mind’s clarity resulted in this power of mine that you can witness,
My strength, my complexion and my brightness that you can behold
Those who have for a long period of time heard the Dhamma preached by Gotama,
Have attained that immovable place, gone there they do not grieve
*Maṇḍūkadevaputtavimānavatthu: maṇḍūka + deva + putta + vimāna + vatthu — frog + deva + son + mansion + ground
