Language
Pāli

2.3.1

Hoti kho so, bhikkhave, samayo, yaṃ kadāci karahaci dīghassa addhuno accayena ayaṃ loko vivaṭṭati.

There comes a time when, after a very long period has passed, this cosmos expands.

The Divine Net

2.3.2

Vivaṭṭamāne loke suññaṃ brahmavimānaṃ pātubhavati.

As it expands an empty mansion of divinity appears.

The Divine Net

2.3.3

Atha kho aññataro satto āyukkhayā vā puññakkhayā vā ābhassarakāyā cavitvā suññaṃ brahmavimānaṃ upapajjati.

Then a certain sentient being—due to the running out of their life-span or merit—passes away from that host of luminous deities and is reborn in that empty mansion of divinity.

The Divine Net

2.3.4

So tattha hoti manomayo pītibhakkho sayampabho antalikkhacaro subhaṭṭhāyī, ciraṃ dīghamaddhānaṃ tiṭṭhati.

There they are mind-made, feeding on rapture, self-radiant, wandering in midair, steadily glorious, and they remain like that for a very long time.
