थे. भ. – पभू णं भंते ! चमरस्स असुरिंदस्स असुरकुमाररण्णो सोमे राया सोमाए रायहाणीए सभाए सुहम्माए सोमंसि सीहासणंसि तुडिएणं ?
Monks-Bhante! Is it possible for Lokapāla Soma, being seated on his throne named Soma in his Council Hall named Sudharma in his capital city named Soma to enjoy the company of his consort goddesses ?
भ. म. — अवसेसं जहा चमरस्स णवरं परिवारो जहा सूरियाभस्स । सेसं तं चैव जाव...णो चेव णं मेहुणवत्तियं ।
Mahavira-Aryas! The answer is similar to that given in the case of Camarendra, though the specific description of his family is similar to that of Suryabha described in Rajapraśniya Sūtra. The rest as before, till he cannot indulge in sex behaviour there.
थे. भ. - चमरस्स णं भंते !
अगम हिसीओ पण्णत्ताओ ?
जाव... . रणो जमस्सं महारण्णो कइ
Monks - Bhante ! How many consorts have Lokapāla Yama, the lord of a direction under Camarendra ?
भ. म. - एवं चैव वरं जमाए रायहाणीए । सेसं जहा सोमस्स । एवं वरुणस्स वि वरं वरुणाए रायहाणीए । एवं वेसमणस्स वि णवरं वेसमणाए यहाणी | सेसं तं चेव जाव... .. मेहुणवत्तियं ।
Mahāvira—Aryas ! He has as many as Lokapāla Soma has, exception being that his capital city is named Yamā, similar again are Lokapāla Varuņa and Lokapāla Vaisramaṇa, exception being that the formers capital city is called Varuņā and that of the latter is called Vaisramaņa. The rest as before, till they cannot indulge in sex bheaviour there.
