Cittapāṭalī untranslated

Cittapāṭalī. A tree in the Asurabhavana (SN.v.238) which lives for a whole aeon. When the Asuras were pushed out of the Deva-world into their present abode, it was the presence of this tree which revealed to them their whereabouts (Ja.i.202; Snp­a.ii.485; MN­a.i.476; Dhp­a.i.272). It is said (Dhp­a.i.280) that whenever the Cittapāṭalī blossomed, the Asuras thought of the Pāricchattaka-tree which they had left behind in Tāvatiṁsa and started making preparations for a war against Sakka.
