"Venerable Sir! Are the anuttaropapātika gods able, remaining right there, to engage in talk or conversation with a kevalin who is here?"
"Yes, they are able."
"Venerable Sir! For what reason is it said: 'The anuttaropapātika gods are able, remaining right there, to engage in talk or conversation with a kevalin who is here'?"
"Gautama! When the anuttaropapātika gods, remaining right there, ask about a meaning, a reason, a question, a cause, or an explanation, the kevalin who is here explains the meaning, the reason, the question, the cause, or the explanation. For that reason, Gautama, it is said: 'The anuttaropapātika gods are able, remaining right there, to engage in talk or conversation with a kevalin who is here.'"
"Venerable Sir! When the kevalin who is here explains a meaning, a reason, a question, a cause, or an explanation, do the anuttaropapātika gods, remaining right there, know and see that?"
"Yes, they know and see [it]."
"Venerable Sir! For what reason is it said: 'When the kevalin who is here explains a meaning, a reason, a question, a cause, or an explanation, the anuttaropapātika gods, remaining right there, know and see that'?"
"Gautama! Those gods have acquired, obtained, and fully possessed infinite matter groups of mind (manodravyavargaṇā). For that reason, Gautama, it is said: 'When the kevalin who is here explains a meaning, a reason, a question, a cause, or an explanation, the anuttaropapātika gods, remaining right there, know and see that.'"
