[214] Then, venerable sir, in the northern quarter a magnificent light arose (uḷāro āloko sañjāyati) and a radiance (obhāso) appeared, surpassing the very divine majesty of the gods. Then, venerable sir, Sakka, lord of the gods, addressed the gods of the Thirty-three (Tāvatiṃsa): "Dear sirs (mārisā), as the signs are seen — a light arises, a radiance appears — Brahmā will appear; for this is the harbinger (pubbanimitta) of Brahmā's appearing, namely, that a light arises and a radiance appears."
