लोगाहिवई ! इति। भो! इति । भो! त्ति ते अण्णमण्णस्स किच्चाई करणिज्जाइं पच्चणुब्भवमाणा विहरंति।
Q.29. Bhante ! Between Sakra and Isāna, the two Indras, the two king of the gods, is there any necessity, is there any business, to meet with each other ?
A.29.
Yes, there is.
Q. 30. Then how do they behave towards each other ?
A. 30. Gautama ! In case of business or necessity, Sakra, the Indra of the gods, their king, comes to isāna, the Indra of the gods, their king, and so too Iśāna, the Indra of the gods, their king, comes to Sakra, the Indra of the gods, their king, (and then they address each other) as follows : (Išānendra saying) "Oh Sakra, the Indra of the gods, the king of the gods, Master of southern half of sphere! How do you do ?" (And Sakrendra saying) "Oh Isana, the Indra of the gods, the king of the gods, Master of northern half of sphere ! How do you do ?" Thus addressing each other, they meet on business or on necessity.
