63.9

Question: If those masters and the like are not sentient beings, do not create sinful karma, and are not born there, how is it that there can be animals in the heavens? What does this mean? For instance, there are various birds and diverse animals born in that place [in heaven]. Why is it not likewise in hell, where animals and hungry ghosts of various kinds are born and made to be the masters?
