Besides these Regent Gods and their followers, other dwellers are to be found in their world—the Khiḍḍāpadosikā, the Manopadosikā, the Sītavalāhakā, the Uṇhavalāhakā, and the devaputtas Candima and Suriya.⁷ Life in the Cātummahārājikā world lasts, according to human computation, ninety thousand years.⁸ Beings are born there as a result of various acts of piety and faith which, however, are based on motives not very exalted.⁹
