2.7.2

Santi, bhikkhave, khiḍḍāpadosikā nāma devā, te ativelaṃ hassakhiḍḍāratidhammasamāpannā viharanti. Tesaṃ ativelaṃ hassakhiḍḍāratidhammasamāpannānaṃ viharataṃ sati sammussati. Satiyā sammosā te devā tamhā kāyā cavanti.

There are gods named ‘depraved by play.’ They spend too much time laughing, playing, and making merry. And in doing so, they lose their mindfulness, and they pass away from that host of gods.
