[2173] What indeed, sire, are these riches of yours here? Formerly I delighted in the heavenly world (devaloka) with forms, with sounds, and also with tastes, with smells, and with touches that delight the mind. And I have enjoyed riches in the Tidiva heaven, sire, surrounded by a troop of celestial nymphs (accharā); and knowing you to be a fool who must be led by others, I would not dwell in such a royal house.
