25.138

Māra Pāpīyas (In full, the Sanskrit is called Śavramāra-pāpīyas. Śavra means "heaven", māra means "obstacle", and pāpīyas means "sin and evil". It means that beings of this class are reborn in heavenly palaces only to urge people to commit evil, causing them to retrogress from wholesome roots so that they are not allowed to be born free from the desire realm).
