44. (Q.) Bhante ! Why do Asur Kumar Deus rise and go up to Saudharma Kalp ?
[Ans.] Gautam ! The just-born gods and those at the fag end of their life have this inspiration... and so on up to... resolve-"Oh ! We have acquired, possessed and experienced this divine opulence... and so on up to... influence. The divine opulence as we have acquired and experienced, the same divine opulence has also been acquired and experienced by Devendra Shakra, the Indra (overlord) of Devs (gods). The divine opulence as Devendra Shakra, the Indra (overlord) of Deus (gods) has acquired and experienced, the same divine opulence has also been acquired and experienced by us. Therefore, we should go and appear before Devendra Shakra, the overlord of gods, and witness that divine opulence and influence acquired by Shakrendra, the overlord of gods. And let Shakrendra, the overlord of gods witness that divine opulence and influence acquired by us. Also let us know that divine opulence and influence acquired by Shakrendra, the overlord of gods. And let Shakrendra, the overlord of gods, know that divine opulence and influence acquired by us.
Gautam ! For that reason to witness and display) Asur Kumar Deus rise and go up to Saudharma Kalp.
"Bhante ! Indeed that is so. Indeed that is so." With these words... and so on up to... ascetic Gautam resumed his activities.
