Bhagavai 3:7:255-257
~: 153:~
3.255 sakkassa nam devimdassa devaranno somassa mahāranno satibhāgam paliovamam thii paṇṇattä. ahāvaccābhinṇāyaṇam deväṇam egapaliovamam thi pannatta, emahiddhie jāva mahāṇubhāge some mahārāyā.
The life-span of the great king Soma, the custodian of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, is said to be one plus one-third of 'pit-measured' period; the life-span of the gods recognized' as his sons is said to be exactly one pitmeasured period. Soma, the custodian, is possessed of so great fortune....... up to so great power (see 3.4).
Bhāṣya
1. Recognised as sons
It means 'they are considered as sons' because they obediently follow what is desired by Soma.'

The Topic of Yama
Where, O Lord! is said to be situated the great celestial abode, named Varasista, of the great king Yama, the custodian of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods?
O Gautama! the great celestial abode, named Varasişța, of the great king Yama, the custodian of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, is said to be situated at the place reached by traversing innumerable thousand yojanas in the Saudharma Kalpa in the southern region of the great celestial abode called Saudharmavatamsaka. Its diameter is 12% thousand yojanas; here the same description is to be given as of Soma's celestial abode...... up to his coronation (3.250). The description of the capital ...... up to the rows of palaces is to be given as those of Soma (3.251).
