[1457] "Master Gotama, we have such wishes, such desires, such intentions as these: 'May we dwell in a home crowded with children; may we enjoy sandalwood from Kāsi; may we wear garlands, scents, and unguents; may we accept gold and silver; and with the breaking up of the body, after death, may we be reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world.' Let Master Gotama teach the Dhamma to us who have such wishes, such desires, such intentions, in such a way that we may dwell in a home crowded with children … may be reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world."
