122. Then the Samana Upasaka Kamadeva, having cultivated himself with many (Sila-Vyay-Guna-Veraman-Pachakkhana-Posho-Upavasas), having attained the Samana Upasaka Paryaya for twenty years, having followed eleven Upasaka-Pratimas well, having cleansed himself with a month's Sanlekhana, having cut off food for sixty meals - a month's Anasana, having done Alochana, Pratikramana, having reached Samadhi at the time of death, he departed from the body. Having departed from the body, he was born in the Saudharma Devaloka, in the Arunabha Vimana, situated in the northeast corner of the Saudharmavatansaka Maha Vimana, in the form of a Deva. There, the lifespan of many Devas is four Palyopama. The lifespan of Kamadeva is also said to be four Palyopama in the form of a Deva.
123. Then, Bhante! Kamadeva, having passed through the Deva-Loka, the Bhava-Kshaya, the Thikka-Kshaya, where will he go, where will he be born? Gotama! He will be extinguished in the Mahavideha Vasa.
