The third of four fascicles of the Cunda-sukarika Sutta describes the merit derived from paying homage and listening to the Cundasukarika Sutta in 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 realized this, he sent Mataliputta to take Dhammika to heaven and asked him about his practice.
