1"Bhikkhus, just as, among the trees of the asuras the trumpet-flower tree[n.244] The trumpet-flower tree here = cittapāṭali; the silk-cotton tree of the asuras (in the following sutta) = kūṭasimbali. is declared to be their chief, so too, among the states conducive to enlightenment the faculty of wisdom is declared to be their chief … all as above … that is, for the attainment of enlightenment."

1"Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, ye keci asurānaṁ rukkhā, cittapāṭali tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati; evameva kho, bhikkhave, ye keci bodhipakkhiyā dhammā, paññindriyaṁ tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati, yadidaṁ – bodhāya. Katame ca, bhikkhave, bodhipakkhiyā dhammā? Saddhindriyaṁ, bhikkhave, bodhipakkhiyo dhammo, taṁ bodhāya saṁvattati … pe … paññindriyaṁ bodhipakkhiyo dhammo, taṁ bodhāya saṁvattati. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, ye keci asurānaṁ rukkhā, cittapāṭali tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati; evameva kho, bhikkhave, ye keci bodhipakkhiyā dhammā, paññindriyaṁ tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati, yadidaṁ – bodhāyā"ti.
