“For what reason, Venerable Sir, do the Asurakumāra gods ascend upwards up to the Saudharma kalpa?”
“Gautama, to those gods, whether recently born or in their last birth, such an internal, thought-out, wished-for mental reflection arises: ‘Ah, by us celestial divine power up to has been acquired; just as celestial divine power up to has been acquired by us, such celestial divine power up to has been acquired by Śakra, Indra of the gods, king of the gods. Just as has been acquired by Śakra, Indra of the gods, king of the gods, such also has been acquired by us.’
‘So, let us go into the presence of Śakra, Indra of the gods, king of the gods, appear before him, and see the celestial divine power up to acquired by Śakra, Indra of the gods, king of the gods; and let Śakra, Indra of the gods, king of the gods, also see the celestial divine power up to acquired by us. Let us know the celestial divine power up to acquired by Śakra, Indra of the gods, king of the gods, and let Śakra, Indra of the gods, king of the gods, also know the celestial divine power up to acquired by us.’
For this reason, indeed, O Gautama, do the Asurakumāra gods ascend upwards up to the Saudharma kalpa.”
“So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!”
