[1023] "Is this mansion (vimāna) of yours impermanent, or is it permanent? — this power (iddhi), splendor, strength, energy, and arising (upapatti) — I ask you about this matter, O nāga maiden: how indeed did you obtain this mansion? Was it obtained by chance, or born of transformation for you? Was it made by yourself, or given by the devas? Declare this matter to me, O nāga maiden, just how it was that you obtained this mansion."
