Bhagavai 3:1:56-72 mutually experience the necessity of the work and lead their life by asserting 'Such and such work is to be done, such and such work is to be done'.
3.70 atthi nam bhamte! tesim sakkisäṇāṇam devimdāṇam devaräiṇam vivādā samuppajjamti?
hamtä atthi.
Does there arise, O Lord, any dispute between Sakra, the chief and the king of the gods, and Īsāna, the chief and the king of the gods?
Yes, there arises.
3.71 se kahamidāņim pakaremti?
goyamā! tāhe ceva nam te sakkīsāṇā deviņdā devarāyāṇo saṇamkumāram devimdam devarayam maṇasīkaremti. tae nam se saṇamkumare devimde devaraya tehim sakkīsāṇehim deviņdehim devarathim maṇasikae samāņe khippāmeva sakkīsāṇāṇam devimdāṇam devaraīnam amliyam pāubbhavati, jam se vadai tassa āṇā-uvavāya-vayaṇa-niddese citthamti.
How do they resolve then?
Gautama, both Sakra and Iśāna, the chiefs and the kings of the gods, mentally communicate with Sanatkumara, the chief and the king of the gods. When Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of gods, is mentally communicated by Sakra and Isana, the chiefs and the kings of gods, he quickly appears before Sakra and Isäna, the chiefs and the kings of the gods, and whatever he says, they abide by his order, service, commandment and instructions.
Bhāṣya
1. Sūtras 56-71
In this section, the mutual relations between Sakra and Isana have been. explained. Both these chiefs have almost a common role but even then the place of İsǎna is somewhat superior, so Īsāna may deal with Sakra indifferently. Sometimes there may arise dispute between them. The boundaries of their heavens are contiguous. The dispute may relate to the boundary also or any other subject. When they fail to resolve their dispute, they make telepathy with Sanatkumāra, the lord of the third heaven. Sanatkumara instantly appears before them. The media of all their communications is telepathy. A complete account of this process is available in the Nāyādhammakahão, according to which, the throne of a god shakes, on account of his being recollected by some person. When the throne shakes, the occupant god knows, by his power of clairvoyance, the person who happens to recollect him, and then he reaches him.'
