Bhagavai 3:2:131
-:95:evam khalu goyamā! asurakumārā devā uddham uppayamti jāva sohammo kappo. The Topic of Reason for Asurakumāras' Travel in the Upper Region
O Lord!' for what reason do the Asurakumāra gods travel ...... up to Sudharmā heaven in the upper region? O Gautama! to the gods, just born and in their last existence in worldly life there occurs such internal, recollective, wishful and mental resolve: Oh! I have acquired, obtained and attained such divine celestial fortune, etc. Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, has also acquired, obtained and attained similar to that of mine divine celestial fortune etc. I have also acquired, obtained and attained divine celestial fortune etc.. That is similar to those of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods. Therefore I should go to Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, appear there and witness the celestial divine fortune etc., acquired, obtained and attained by Sakra, the chief and the king of gods. Let Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, perceive the divine celestial fortune etc., that I have acquired, obtained and attained. I should acquaint myself with the divine celestial fortune, acquired, obtained and attained by Sakra, the chief and the king of gods. Let Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, also know the divine celestial fortune etc., acquired, obtained and attained by me. It is for this reason that, O Gautama! the Asurakumāra gods travel ..... up to the Sudharmā heaven in the upper region.
Bhāșya 1. Sutra 131
In this very Sataka, in Sūtra 90, a reason for the Asurakunāra gods travelling up to the Saudharma heaven has been mentioned-an inimical attitude inherited at birth. In the present Sūtra, another reason has been indicated, which is a sort of curiosity or query or the inclination to a comparative knowledge concerning their fortune, the purpose being to inspect the fortune of Sakra and show him his own fortune. Even gods are not free from curiosity and display of their own powers, which follow from the descriptions in this context.
In the present Sūtra, two features of the curiosity to inspect and display fortune are mentioned. The first feature of curiosity is 'recent birth' and the second is 'last birth'. The recently born god' comes to such state of existence, so there is the curiosity in him to inspect the fortune of the Sakra or to display his own fortune to the Sakra. Similarly, there is such curiosity at the last birth of one's life. He thinks that before passing to the next birth, he should inspect the fortune of Sakra or display his own to the Sakra.
