But after staying there all alone for a long time, they become dissatisfied and anxious,
2.16.2
aho vata aññepi sattā itthattaṃ āgaccheyyunti.
“Oh, if only other beings would come to this place.”
2.16.3
Atha aññepi sattā āyukkhayā vā puññakkhayā vā ābhassarakāyā cavitvā suññaṃ brahmavimānaṃ upapajjanti tassa sattassa sahabyataṃ.
Then other sentient beings—due to the running out of their life-span or merit—pass away from that host of luminous deities and are reborn in that mansion of divinity in company with that being.
2.16.4
Tepi tattha honti manomayā pītibhakkhā sayaṃpabhā antalikkhacarā subhaṭṭhāyino, ciraṃ dīghamaddhānaṃ tiṭṭhanti.
