sn11.14:2.3 After undertaking these things, when their body broke up, after death, they were reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm, in the company of the gods of the thirty-three.
sn11.14:2.4 There they outshone the other gods in beauty and glory.

sn11.14:2.6 ‘Oh lord, how incredible, how amazing!
sn11.14:2.7 For when this godling was a human being in their past life they were poor, destitute, and pitiful.
sn11.14:2.8 And when their body broke up, after death, they were reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm, in the company of the gods of the thirty-three.
