Sakko pana devānamindo attano pañcavidhapubbanimittaṃ disvā maraṇabhayasantajjito domanassajāto bhagavantaṃ upasaṅkamitvā pañhaṃ pucchi. So upekkhāpañhavissajjanāvasāne asītisahassāhi devatāhi saddhiṃ sotāpattiphale patiṭṭhāsi. Sā cassa upapatti puna pākatikāva ahosi.

Sakka, ruler of the gods, on the other hand, seeing his own fivefold warning sign, terrified by the fear of death and overcome with grief, approached the Blessed One and asked a question. At the end of the explanation of the question on equanimity, together with eighty thousand devas, he became established in the fruit of stream-entry. And his rebirth became once again natural and secure.
