Eyaruvaim-Such divine, god-related enjoyments-pleasures-that which is to be enjoyed, while enjoying-indulging in them, we wander-roam around. Se tam-This is the best of the sadhus-the excellent.
Malartha-In the upper divine realms, there are devas (gods). Among them, some subjugate the goddesses of other devas and engage them in enjoyment, others create a vaikriya (transformed) form from their own self and engage them in enjoyment, and still others enjoy their own goddesses. So, if there is any special fruit of this tapas (austerity), penance, and discipline, then we too shall wander in the future, enjoying such god-related enjoyments. This is our most excellent thought. The rest of the description should be known as before ('yavat' word has occurred many times, which indicates the previous description).
Tika-This sutra describes the topic of the company (sexual play) of the devas. Some deities subjugate the goddesses of other devas and, having subdued them, incite them for sexual intercourse. Others, by transforming their own self, that is, by the vikuryana (transformation) of the goddess, engage in sexual intercourse with her. The commentator explains this as follows - "Atmanaivātmānaṃ strīpuruṣarūpatayā vikṛtyetyarthaḥ" - that is, they transform their own self into two different forms, female and male, and engage in sexual activity. However, in the 'Bhagavati' sutra, it is written that a single living being cannot experience the desires for the enjoyment of both the female and male at the same time. So, the established tradition in this matter is that the male deities transform their male organ, and their own goddesses transform into the female form, and in this way, they engage in mutual sexual enjoyment. This truth is well-known to the learned. There are some devas who remain satisfied by enjoying with their own goddesses.
Seeing the voluntary joyful sport of the devas in this way, the thought arose in the minds of the Nirgrantha (Jain ascetics) and Nirgranthinīs (Jain nuns) that the devas alone are blessed. Therefore, if there is any special fruit of our this tapas (austerity), penance, and discipline, then we too shall wander in the future, enjoying these three types of sexual play related to the devas.
