The third of four fascicles of the Cundasukarika Sutta describes the merit derived from paying homage and listening to the Cundasukarika Sutta as the way Dhammika Bandit did before. Because of the power of the merit, a miraculous lighting took place in the Tavatimsa heaven. When God Indra acknowledged this, he sent Mataliputta to take Dhammika to heaven and asked him about his practice.
