"After how much time, Venerable Sir, do the Asurakumāra gods fly upward, up to: have gone and will go to the Saudharma realm?"
"Gautama, after the passing of infinite avasarpiṇīs and infinite utsarpinīs, this occurrence, which is a worldly marvel, arises: that the Asurakumāra gods fly upward, up to the Saudharma realm."
"Relying on what, Venerable Sir, do the Asurakumāra gods fly upward, up to the Saudharma realm?"
"Gautama, just as here Śabaras, Barbaras, Ṭaṅkaṇas, Cucukas, Palhas, or Pulindas, relying on a great wilderness, a pit, a fortress, a cave, rough terrain, or a mountain, obstruct even a very large force of horses, force of elephants, force of warriors, or force of archers,
in the very same way, the Asurakumāra gods fly upward, up to the Saudharma realm, not otherwise than relying on the Arhats, or caityas of the Arhats, or homeless ascetics of developed soul."
"Do all the Asurakumāra gods, Venerable Sir, fly upward, up to the Saudharma realm?"
"Gautama, this meaning is not tenable. Only Asurakumāra gods of great supernormal power fly upward, up to the Saudharma realm."
"Has even this Camara, king of the asuras and lord of the asuras, Venerable Sir, flown upward in the past, up to the Saudharma realm?"
"Yes, Gautama, even this Camara, king of the asuras and lord of the asuras, has flown upward in the past, up to the Saudharma realm."
"Oh, Venerable Sir! Camara, king of the asuras and lord of the asuras, is of great supernormal power, of great splendor [… up to] of great majesty! Venerable Sir, where did that divine supernormal power, divine splendor, and divine majesty of Camara go? Where did it enter?"
"The simile of the gabled house is to be spoken."
