## Chapter 136
**The Scattering of the Eager Refusal**
"You are true to your word, but I, alas, am false. I have not done what is right. Forgive me, O Ocean of Forgiveness!" (136)
"I will go to heaven, content, turning my back on misfortune. Go you too, without fear, to the villages and cities." (137)
"Go to the villages to beg, and eat unpolluted food. Even the faults of begging were ordained by me in the past." (138)
"The Lord said, 'Do not worry, O Sangamaka! We are not subject to anyone, but wander freely according to our own will.'" (139)
Prostrating himself before the glorious Vira, the fallen god, filled with remorse, set out for the city of Puruhuta. (140)
From that time on, the gods who dwell in Sudharma, for so long, were without joy, without enthusiasm, and filled with anxiety. (141)
Indra, too, was deeply distressed, his mind devoid of all pleasure. He thought to himself: (142)
"I am the cause of all these misfortunes. When I praised the Lord, this god became angry." (143)
Meanwhile, Sangamaka, the fallen god, stained with the mud of sin, his radiance lost, like a mirror touched by water, (144)
false to his word, with dull eyes and muddy lotus-like eyes, went to the assembly of the gods, presided over by the king of the gods. (145)
Seeing Sangamaka, Indra immediately turned his back and said, "O gods, all of you, listen to my words! (146)
This is Sangamaka, the fallen god, a wretch, a sinner. Even though he is visible, he is not fit to be seen. (147)
He has offended us greatly, for he has disobeyed our Lord. Why should we be afraid of him? Why should we be afraid of this fallen god? (148)
The Arhats do not suffer because of the help of others. They suffer because of their own karma. I have taught this fallen god about karma and its consequences. (149)
Therefore, he must be banished from this world, for he is a source of sin for us. He must be banished from this world, this fallen god." (150)
Saying this, Vajrapani, with his vajra, struck the fallen god with his left foot, filled with anger. (151)
He was pursued by the various armies of the gods, dragged by the goddesses of heaven with their strong hands, (152)
mocked by the celestial beings, riding in his chariot called Yana, he went to the peak of Mount Meru, the abode of the gods, where the air is pure and the sky is clear. (153)
The wives of Sangamaka said to Indra, "If it is your command, we will follow our lord." (154)
The wives of Sangamaka, with tearful eyes, wished to follow him. But Vasava prevented them, and all his retinue. (155)
