Iti so tāya ujucittatāya akuṭilatāya kālaṃ katvā tāvatiṃsabhavane nibbatto accharāsahassaparivuto mahāsampattiṃ anubhosi. Tassa kaṇṇamūle mantayantassa saddo soḷasayojanaṭṭhānaṃ pharati, pakatikathāsaddo pana sakalaṃ dasayojanasahassaṃ devanagaraṃ chādeti. Tenevassa ‘‘ghosakadevaputto’’ti nāmaṃ ahosi. ‘‘Kissa panesa nissando’’ti. Paccekabuddhe pemena bhukkaraṇassa nissando. So tattha na ciraṃ ṭhatvā cavi. Devalokato hi devaputtā āyukkhayena puññakkhayena āhārakkhayena kopenāti catūhi kāraṇehi cavanti.

Remaining in the World of the Thirty-three for no long time, he passed from that state of existence. (Deities pass from the World of the Gods through four causes: exhaustion of life, exhaustion of merit, exhaustion of food, and anger. He that has earned much merit is reborn in the World of the Gods, remains there during the term allotted to him, and is then reborn higher and higher. Thus he passes through “exhaustion of life.” He that has earned little merit soon exhausts that merit, just as three or four pint-pots of rice tossed into a royal storehouse disappear; and he therefore soon dies. Thus he passes through "exhaustion of merit." Still a third, while enjoying the pleasures of sense, fails through confusion of memory to partake of food, and the strength of his body being thereby impaired, dies. Thus he passes through "exhaustion of food." A fourth, jealous of the glory of another, becomes angry and dies. Thus he passes through "anger.")
