Bhagavai 7:7:146-148
fit to take birth as god in anyone of the heavens, but he has a weak physique; he, is no able to enjoy great sensual pleasures by means of his enthusiasm, action, strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency. Do your lordships also endorse this view? Gautama! this is not proper. Capable indeed is he, by means of his enthusiasm, action, strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency to enjoy any of the great sensual pleasures, so he is indeed an indulgent. He, by renouncing the pleasures, achieve massive falling away of karma and attain the great end i.e., heaven or liberation.

There is a person, with clairvoyance restricted to a limited area, O Lord! who is fit to take re-birth as god in anyone of the heavens, but he has a weak physique; he is not able to enjoy great sensual pleasures, by means of his enthusiasm, action, strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency. Do your lordships also endorse this view? Gautama! this is not proper. Capable indeed is he, by means of his enthusiasm, action, strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency to enjoy any of the great sensual pleasures, so he is indeed an indulgent. He, by renouncing the pleasures, achieve massive falling away of karma and attain the great end
i.e., heaven or liberation. 7.148 paramāhohie nam bhamte! manūse je bhavie teneva bhavaggahanenam
sijjhittae jāva amtam karettae, se nūņam bhamte! se khinabhogi no pabhū utthāṇenam, kammenam, balenam, vīrienam, purisakkāra-parakkamenam viulāim bhogabhogãim bhumjamāne viharittae? se nūnam bhamte! eyamattham evam vayaha? goyamā! no tinatthe samatthe. pabhū nam se utthāṇena vi, kammena vi, balena vi, vīriena vi, purisakkāra-parakkamena vi annayarāim vipulāim bhogabhogāim bhumjamāne viharittae, tamhä bhogi bhoge pariccayamāne mahānijjare, mahāpajjavasāne bhavai. There is a person with highest clairvoyance, O Lord! who is fit for attaining liberation ..... up to put an end to worldly life in that very birth, but he has a weak physique; he is not able to enjoy great sensual pleasures, by means of his enthusiasm, action, strength, energy, self-exertion and self-efficiency. Do your lordships also endorse this view?
