He evidently liked other people to enjoy life and sent a heavenly dancer to amuse Mahāpanāda when nobody on earth could accomplish that feat (SNA. ii. 400). On another occasion, as Sakka was rejoicing in his triumph over the Asuras, he saw a crane on a hill-top who wished to be able to eat fish without going down into the stream. Sakka immediately sent the stream, in full flood, to the hill-top (J. iii. 252).
