________________ [ 54. 3. And he was born in Candranana Vimana with the age of one Sagaropama. Hear, I speak, in short, the way in which gods are born. (91) As there are nymphs and others among them, they are born according to the order; according as the celestial action is great, they transform into gods. (92) Just as in the heavens, within a moment, there is the birth of clouds, lightning, a rainbow and flashes (of lightning), in the same way, there is the birth of gods. (93) And again leaving up this body, he takes up the celestial body in the pure bed of gods in one Antarmuhurta (i. e. 48 minutes). (94) There, at that time, they sing pleasing songs; and the celestial damsels shed the clusters of flowers, with bees. (95) They astonish gods by exhibiting celestial amours; and they play upon the lutes of three sounds, of varied types and enchanting. (96) Knowing his birth, most difficult to be had in all the world, gods, with gladdened hearts, make loud roars like those of lions. (97) [54] And the other (i. e. the soul of Gunasena) gets up at once gladdened, enjoying the celestial souad, touch, taste, form, and smell and the pleasures of desires. (98) He, the joy of the eyes of gods, puts on the celestial silk garment of a god; and having shining beautiful face, he appears like the full autumnal moon. (99)
