Sanamkumāra-padam 3.72 sanamkumāre nam bhamte! devimde devarāyā kim bhavasiddhie?
abhavasiddhie? sammudditthi? micchaditthi? parittasamsārie? anamtasamsārie? sulabhabohie? dullabhabohie? ārāhae? virāhue? carime? acarime? goyamā! sanamkumāre nam devimde devarāyā bhavasiddhie, no abhavasiddhie. sammadditthi, no inicchadithi. parittasamsārie, no anamtasamsārie.
sulabhabohie, no dullabhabohie. ārāhae, no virāhae. carime, no acarime. The Topic of Sanatkumāra
Is! Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of gods, capable of attaining liberation or is he incapable of doing so? Is he possessed of enlightened world-view or is he possessed of deluded world-view? Is his worldly existence of limited duration, or is his worldly life of infinite duration? Is it easy for him to get enlightenment, or is it difficult for him to do so? Is he a bonafied observer of the path (leading to salvation) or is he a transgressor of the path (leading to salvation)? Is he in his last birth of worldly existence? Gautama, Sanatkumāra, the chief and the king of the gods, is capable of attaining liberation, not incapable of attaining liberation. He is possessed of enlightened world-view, not deluded world-view. He has limited duration of worldly existence, it is not infinite. He is capable of easily attaining enlightenment, it is not difficult for him to do so. He is a bonafied observer of the path (leading to salvation), not the transgressor of it. He is in the last birth of his worldly life, not otherwise.

It cannot be denied that the present dialogue was interpolated in the Bhagavai at the time of its compilation. Semantics bhavasiddhika - capable of attaining liberation. paritasamsāri ----one who has made limited his span of worldly existence. sulabhabodhika ---- for whom the enlightenment is easily attainable. ärādhaka---strict observer of the path (disciplines) of knowledge, faith and conduct. carama -- the Vrtti explains it in two ways: the would-be human body would be the last birth of worldly existence; this birth as god is the last birth of Sanatkumāra, the king of gods.' He will attain liberation after one more birth as a human being.
The soul which is capable of attaining liberation is of two types: (i) soul which has attained enlightenment or (ii) a soul which has not attained enlightenment. This
