Guttilavimāṇa
Mahā-Moggallāna visits Tāvatiṃsa and, seeing thirty-six goddesses whose palaces were next to each other, questions them as to their acts in the past, and reports their answers to the Buddha. The Buddha replies that those same goddesses were in Tāvatiṃsa at the time of Guttila’s visit; he then proceeds to give an account of Guttila. Vv.iii.5; VvA.137 ff
