Thanks for the reminder, it just
slipped my mind after all those decades studying DhA in Thai.
It is the PatipÅ«jikakumÄrivatthu, "The story of the girl who
honours her husband"Â (DhA 4.4/1:362-366).
The devi is called MÄlabhÄrÄ« ("garland-wearer")
Good health and may you attain streamwinning at least in this life
itself to Ayasma Aggacitta, Ayasma Kumara and all the practitioners at
Sasanarakkha. May the future remember you well and learn for
self-awakening.
With metta and mudita,

- Pali Friends,
- I'm looking for the reference to a story of Sakra and one of his
queens. They were all frolicking in one of the gardens of Tavatimsa, when
she dies and is reborn on earth, and recalling her divine birth, she
lives a virtuous life determined to return to Tavatimsa.
- At the end of her earth life, she dies and is reborn in Tavatimsa,
later that same day when the gods are still frolicking in their garden.
Sakra looks for her, and asks her were she has gone all morning.
- I would deeply appreciate it if anyone could give me the reference
for this. It is not the commentary on the Sakkapa~nha-sutta, Sv III 732,
about Sakka's being reborn unnoticed.
