-: 50:
Bhagavai 3:1:52-54 greet and respect him as beneficial auspicious deity, and offer adoration as a delightful person, with humbleness, and abide by the ājñā, upapāta, vacana and nirdeśa* of Iśāna, the chief and the king of the gods. Thus indeed, O Gautama, the divine celestial fortune, the divine celestial splendour and the divine celestial power was achieved, obtained and attained by Isäna, the chief and the king of the gods.

3.52 īsānassa bhamte! devimdassa devaranno kevatiyam kālam this pannatta?
goyamā! sätiregăim do sāgarovamäim this pannatta. How great, O Lord, is the life-span of īsāna, the chief and the king of the gods? Gautama, it is slightly more than two ocean-measured periods. 3.53 isāne ņam bhamte! devinde devarāyā tāo devalogāo āukkhaena bhava
kkhaeņam thiikkhaenam anamturam cuyam caittā kahim gacchihiti? kahim uvavajjihiti? goyamā! mahāvidehe väse sijjhihiti bujjhihiti muccihiti parinivvähiti savvadukkhānam amtain kähiti. Where would, O Lord, Iśāna, the chief and the king of the gods, will go and be born after departing from that heaven on the expiry of his life-span, on the expiry of his (celestial) fife, on the expiry of his (celestial) sojourn? Gautama, he will be liberated, quieted, freed, emancipated and make an end of all sufferings, in the continent of Mahāvideha.
Text Sakkīsāņa-padam 3.54 sakkassa nam bhamte! devimdassa devaranno vimānehinto īsānassa
devimdassa devaranno vimänä isim uccatarā ceva īsim unnayatarā ceva? īsānussa vā devidassa devaranno vimāņehimto sakkassa devimdassa devaranno vimūnā īsim niyatarā ceva isim ninnatarā ceva? hamtā goyamā! sakkassa tam ceva suvvam neyavvam.
