The deity Candimasa says that those who practice absorption will surely find escape. The Buddha adds that they must also be diligent and discard flaws.At Sāvatthī. Then, late at night, the glorious god Candimasa, lighting up the entire Jeta’s Grove, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence: “Like deer in a mosquito-free marsh, they will reach a safe place having entered the absorptions, unified, alert, and mindful.” “Like fish when the net is cut, they will reach the far shore having entered the absorptions, diligent, with vices discarded.”
