Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA certain Brahma thought that no recluse or brahmin could come to his world. To refute his views, the Buddha went there and sat in the air above the Brahma, flames radiating from his body. The Buddha was followed by Moggallana, Mahakassapa, Mahakappina and Anuruddha.
The Brahma was at first agitated by their presence, but later he was delighted on learning from Moggallana, who was questioned by an attendant Brahma, that there were many more disciples of the Buddha who could do as he and the others had done, and that they were holy men. S.i.144-6. See also Bakabrahma Sutta.
