[2502] Having enjoyed divine delights for a year, then I asked further: "How, and in what way, did the nāga gain this? How did you attain this supreme mansion (vimāna)? Was it obtained by chance? Did it arise for you through transformation? Was it made by yourself, or was it given by the devas? I ask you, O nāga king, about this matter: how did you attain this supreme mansion?"
