[452] Sakavādin: "For the deities belonging to Māra's retinue (mārakāyikā devatā) there is no emission of semen, an impurity (asuci-sukka-visaṭṭhi)?" Paravādin: "Yes." Sakavādin: "If for the deities belonging to Māra's retinue there is no emission of semen, an impurity, then surely, good sir, it should not be said that the deities belonging to Māra's retinue convey an emission of semen, an impurity, to an arahant."
