Mahāsudassanasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Dīghanikāya · Mahāvagga · Vol. 10 · Section 184

[184] Then, Ānanda, not long afterward, King Mahāsudassana died. Just as, Ānanda, when a householder or a householder's son has eaten a delicious meal, drowsiness after the meal comes over him, even so, Ānanda, was the feeling (vedanā) King Mahāsudassana had at the time of death. And having died, Ānanda, King Mahāsudassana was reborn in a good destination, in the Brahmā world. King Mahāsudassana, Ānanda, played the games of a boy for eighty-four thousand years; he ruled as viceroy for eighty-four thousand years; he ruled as king for eighty-four thousand years; and as a layman he lived the holy life in the Palace of Dhamma for eighty-four thousand years. Having developed the four divine abidings (brahmavihāra) — loving-kindness, compassion, altruistic joy, and equanimity — with the breaking up of the body, after death, he went to the Brahmā world.
