3.1.158

"If, Venerable Sir, Īśāna, the king of gods, the ruler of gods, possesses such great supernatural power up to and is able to transform this much—surely, [your] pupil named the homeless ascetic Kurudattaputra, Beloved of the Gods, gentle by nature up to humble, cultivating himself through unbroken ascetic practices of continuous three-day fasts, taking āyambila on breaking fast, raising his arms aloft towards the sun, performing heat mortification on the heat-mortification ground, having maintained the ascetic course for a full six months, emaciating himself with a half-month saṃlekhanā, terminating thirty meals through fasting, having confessed and repented, having attained spiritual composure, dying at his appointed time, was reborn in Īśāna Kalpa in his own celestial abode, in the assembly hall of rebirth, on a divine couch, covered by a divine cloth, with a bodily stature measuring an innumerable fraction of an aṅgula, as a sāmānika god of Īśāna, the king of gods, the ruler of gods. Whatever was said regarding Tīṣyaka, all of that without remainder applies to Kurudattaputra as well, with the difference that: slightly more than two entire Jambūdvīpa continents; the rest is just the same.

Thus for the sāmānika gods, trāyastriṃśa gods, Lokapālas, and chief queens up to: this, Gautama, is stated only as the scope and full capacity of each and every chief queen goddess of Īśāna, the king of gods, the ruler of gods; never in actuality have they transformed, do they transform, or will they transform [to that full extent]."
