'In that age, at that time, a pair of gods, possessed of great fortune up to great power (see 1.339), from Mahāsāmāna Vimāna of the Mahāśukra Kalpa, appeared before the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. They (the two gods) offered homage and obeisance to the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra and mentally put him
the following query — 5.84 kati nam bhamte! devānuppiyānam amtevasiyāim sijjhihimti jāva amtam

Then those two gods, being thus mentally addressed, for their mentally put query by the Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra, were happy, pleased, composed, delighted and beatified. They were excited with excessive joy. They paid their homage and obeisance to Ascetic Lord Mahāvīra. Having offered obeisance and homage to him, they seated themselves in front of the Lord), intent on hearing the Lord, offering obeisance in humility
