Both Māyā and Gopikā (q.v.) became devaputtas when born in Tāvatiṃsa. The women there were probably the attendants of the devas.²⁸ - [Previous: v1.c21.414](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.414) - [Next: v1.c21.416](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.416) - [Up: v1.c21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.415](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.415) · Pramāṇa
