Saṁyutta Nikāya — Discursos Conectados — 2.12 — With Vishnu

1Standing to one side, the godling Vishnu spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

2“Happy are the men
who pay homage to the Holy One!
They apply themselves to Gotama’s instructions,
diligently training.”

3“Those who practice absorption <j>in accord with the training”,
said the Buddha to Vishnu, “in the way of teaching I’ve proclaimed,
diligent while there is still time;
they won’t fall under the sway of Death.”
