Thus have I heard. At one time the Exalted One was staying at Sāvatthi in<br />

Prince Jeta’s Grove, in the park of Anāthapiõóika.<br />

Then the Exalted One spoke thus to the Bhikkhus: "O Bhikkhus." Those<br />

Bhikkhus replied to the Exalted One: "Lord." The Exalted One then said:<br />

"Long ago, Bhikkhus, a battle was raging between the gods and the titans.<br />

Then Sakka, ruler of the gods, addressed the thirty-three gods, saying:<br />

’If in you, dear sirs, when you have gone into battle, fear, panic and gooseflesh<br />

should arise, look up at the crest of my banner. If you do so, any fear,<br />

panic and goose-flesh that may arise will be overcome.<br />

If you do not look up to the crest of my banner, look at the crest of the banner<br />

of Pajāpati, king of gods. If you do so, any fear, panic and goose-flesh that<br />

may arise will be overcome.<br />

If you do not look up to the crest of the banner of Pajāpati, king of the gods,<br />

look at the crest of the banner of Varuõa, king of gods. If you do so, any fear,<br />

panic and goose-flesh that may arise will be overcome.
