Beings are born there as a result of developing the Fourth Jhāna.¹ Their life-span is five hundred \*mahākalpas\*,² and even \*puthujjanas\* can be born there.³ Baka-Brahma was once an inhabitant of Vehapphala.⁴ Anāgāmins born there reach Nibbāna without going elsewhere.⁵ Buddhaghosa⁶ explains the name thus: \*vipulā phalā ti\* = Vehapphalā. In ages in which the world is destroyed by wind, Vehapphala forms the limit of the destruction.⁷ - [Previous: v2.c35.2215](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.2215) - [Next: v2.c35.2217](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.2217) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.2216](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.2216) · Pramāṇa
