 During the night, the devas Sakka and Mahabrahma paid homage to the Buddha and the forest lit up, catching the attention of Jambuka.Jambuka later praised the Buddha for gaining the homage of the devas, noting that he himself had not received any such homage in his 55 years of austere practice.The Buddha told him that he was aware that Jambuka had been deceiving people by actually sleeping on the ground and eating excrement.
