On hearing the cry of the Avihā deities, the Atappā deities took up the cry.
On hearing the cry of the Atappā deities, the Sudassā deities took up the cry.
On hearing the cry of the Sudassā deities, the Sudassī deities took up the cry.
On hearing the cry of the Sudassī deities, the Akaniññhakā deities took up the
cry:
"At Varanasi, in the Game Refuge at Isipatana, the Blessed One has set in
motion the unexcelled Wheel of Dhamma that cannot be stopped by priest or
contemplative, deity, Māra, Brahma, or anyone at all in the cosmos."
So in that moment, that instant, the cry shot right up to the Brahma world.
And this ten-thousandfold cosmos shivered & quivered & quaked, while a
great, measureless radiance appeared in the cosmos, surpassing the
effulgence of the deities.
Then the Blessed One exclaimed: "So you really know, Kondañña? So you
really know?"
And that is how Venerable Kondañña acquired the name Añña-Kondañña
(Kondañña who knows).
