Such praise did he receive; and at the end of his life he was born again in the heaven of the Great Thirty Three, as Sakka, the king of the Gods, and there, too, his friends were born again.
At that time there were Titans dwelling in the heaven of the Great Thirty Three.
And Sakka said, “What is the good to us of a kingdom shared by others?”
And he had ambrosia given to the Titans to drink, and when they became like drunken men, he had them seized by the feet and thrown headlong upon the precipices of Mount Sineru.
They fell just upon “The abode of the Titans;” a place so called, upon the lowest level of Sineru, equal in size to the Tāvatiŋsa heaven. In it there is a tree, like the coral-tree in Sakka’s heaven, which stands during a kalpa, and is called “The variegated Trumpet-Flower Tree.”
When they saw the Trumpet-Flower Tree in bloom, they knew, “This is not our heaven, for in heaven the Coral-Tree blossoms.”
Then they said, “That old Sakka has made us drunk, and thrown us into the great deep, and taken our heavenly city!”
Then they made resolve, “We’ll war against him, and win our heavenly city back again!”
