"Venerable Sir! Of how many kinds is entry as a celestial being taught to be?"
"Gāṅgeya! It is taught to be of four kinds, namely: entry as a bhavanavāsin deity up to entry as a vaimānika deity."
"Venerable Sir! When one deity enters by way of deity-entry, would it be among bhavanavāsins? Would it be among vāṇamantaras, jyotiṣkas, [or] vaimānikas?"
"Gāṅgeya! It may be among bhavanavāsins, or it may be among vāṇamantaras, jyotiṣkas, or vaimānikas."
"Venerable Sir! When two deities [enter] by way of deity-entry—" [the inquiry].
"Gāṅgeya! They may be among bhavanavāsins, or they may be among vāṇamantaras, jyotiṣkas, or vaimānikas; or one may be among bhavanavāsins and one may be among vāṇamantaras. In this way, as with entry as an animal, so also entry as a deity is to be expounded up to 'innumerable'."
"Venerable Sir! When maximum [deities enter]—" [the inquiry].
"Gāṅgeya! All of them indeed may be among jyotiṣkas; or they may be among jyotiṣkas and bhavanavāsins; or they may be among jyotiṣkas and vāṇamantaras; or they may be among jyotiṣkas and vaimānikas; or they may be among jyotiṣkas, bhavanavāsins, and vāṇamantaras; or they may be among jyotiṣkas, bhavanavāsins, and vaimānikas; or they may be among jyotiṣkas, vāṇamantaras, and vaimānikas; or they may be among jyotiṣkas, bhavanavāsins, vāṇamantaras, and vaimānikas."
