AtappÄ-devÄ


A class of devas whose company mortals long for (M.i.289; iii.103).

They belong to the SuddhÄvÄsÄ (D.ii.52; D.iii.237).

According to Buddhaghosa (DA.ii.480; VibhA.521) they are so called because they torment no one (na kañci sattaṃ tapenti).

They are Non-returners (anÄgÄmi). ItA.40.
