[195] Then, venerable sir, in the northern quarter a magnificent light arose and a radiance appeared, surpassing even the divine majesty of the gods. Then, venerable sir, Sakka, lord of the gods, addressed the gods of the Tāvatiṃsa: "Good sirs (mārisā), according as the signs are seen—a light arises, a radiance appears—Brahmā will appear; for this is the harbinger of Brahmā's appearing, namely, that a light arises and a radiance appears."
According as the signs are seen,
Brahmā will appear;
for this is the harbinger of Brahmā:
a radiance vast and great.
