[Q] Gautam! Once his lust is satiated, what kind of elation and 5 contentment he experiences?
[Ans.] (Gautam Swami replies-) O Shraman Bhagavan! That person experiences great elation and contentment.
(Bhagavan adds-) Gautam! The carnal pleasures of Vanavyantar Devs (interstitial gods) are infinite times more exquisite than those of this person. The carnal pleasures of abode-dwelling gods, other than Asurendras, are infinite times more exquisite than those of Vanavyantar Devs (interstitial gods). The carnal pleasures of Asur-kumar gods are infinite times more exquisite than those of abode-dwelling gods other than Asurendras. The carnal pleasures of Jyotishk gods including planets, stars and nakshatras are infinite times more exquisite than those of Asur-kumar gods. The carnal pleasures of Chandra and Surya, the kings of Jyotishk gods, are infinite times more exquisite than those of Jyotishk gods including planets, stars and nakshatras.
O Gautam ! Experiencing this type of enjoyments king Chandra and king Surya the kings of Jyotishk gods spend their lives.

विवेचन - यहाँ चन्द्रमा और सूर्य के कामभोगों को अन्य ( भवनपति व वाणव्यंतर आदि) देवों से अनन्त गुणों से विशिष्ट बताया गया है।
श्रमण भगवान महावीर ने यहाँ कामभोगों के सुख को उदार सुख कहा है। उन्होंने इस कामभोग को मोक्ष सुख अथवा आत्मिक सुख की अपेक्षा से नहीं, बल्कि सामान्य सांसारिकजनों के वैषयिक सुखों की अपेक्षा से कहा है । वास्तव में कामभोग सम्बन्धी सुख, सुख नहीं मात्र सुखाभास है, क्षणिक है, तुच्छ है । यह एक प्रकार के दुःख का कारण है।
