Regarding the fifteenth intermediate existence: When dying in heaven and returning to birth in heaven, there is no suffering. Unlike other devaputras who, at the time of death, suffer the pain of separation from loved ones and fall into the hells, hungry ghosts, or animals, such a devaputra does not lose the ornaments of their own body, nor does another deva occupy their original seat; they are reborn in a superior heaven. If, after dying in the Heaven of the Four Kings, one is reborn in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three with delightful and superior signs, this is called the fifteenth intermediate existence's path of succession.
