"Venerable Sir, are there gods called Lavasaptama—are there gods called Lavasaptama?"
"Yes, they do exist."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said: 'Gods called Lavasaptama, gods called Lavasaptama'?"
"Gautama, just as if some man, young [...] endowed with fine craft skills, were to cut seven portions of stalks—collecting them again and again, gathering them together again and again, thinking 'Just at this very moment!'—from ripe, mature, yellow stalks with yellow nodes of śāli rice, or vīhi rice, or wheat, or barley, or coarse barley, using a sharp, newly sharpened sickle; if, Gautama, those gods had only that much lifespan left, then indeed those gods, attaining liberation, awakening, release, and entering final nirvāṇa in that very embodiment, would make an end of all suffering. For that reason, Gautama, it is said: 'Gods called Lavasaptama, gods called Lavasaptama.'"

"Venerable Sir, are there gods born in the Anuttara celestial abodes—are there gods born in the Anuttara celestial abodes?"
"Yes, they do exist."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said: 'Gods born in the Anuttara celestial abodes, gods born in the Anuttara celestial abodes'?"
"Gautama, for the gods born in the Anuttara celestial abodes, the sounds are unsurpassable, the forms are unsurpassable, the scents are unsurpassable, the tastes are unsurpassable, and the touches are unsurpassable. For that reason, Gautama, it is said: 'Gods born in the Anuttara celestial abodes, gods born in the Anuttara celestial abodes.'"
"With how much residual karma, Venerable Sir, are the gods born into the status of gods of the Anuttara celestial abodes?"
"Gautama, with as much residual karma as a nirgrantha śramaṇa dissipates by undertaking a sixth-meal fast, with that much residual karma are they born into the status of gods of the Anuttara celestial abodes."
"It is so, Venerable Sir! It is so, Venerable Sir!"
