एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो सो भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Buddha:
“को नु खो, भन्ते, हेतु, को पच्चयो, येनेकदा उण्हं होती”ति?
“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo, yenekadā uṇhaṁ hotī”ti?
“Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason why sometimes it becomes warm?”
“सन्ति, भिक्खु, उण्हवलाहका नाम देवा। तेसं यदा एवं होति: ‘यन्नून मयं सकाय रतिया वसेय्यामाऽति, तेसं तं चेतोपणिधिमन्वाय उण्हं होति। अयं खो, भिक्खु, हेतु, अयं पच्चयो, येनेकदा उण्हं होती”ति।
“Santi, bhikkhu, uṇhavalāhakā nāma devā. Tesaṁ yadā evaṁ hoti: ‘yannūna mayaṁ sakāya ratiyā vaseyyāmā’ti, tesaṁ taṁ cetopaṇidhimanvāya uṇhaṁ hoti. Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhu, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo, yenekadā uṇhaṁ hotī”ti.
“Bhikkhu, there are what are called gods of the warm clouds. Sometimes they think: ‘Why don’t we revel in our own kind of enjoyment?’ Then, in accordance with their wish, it becomes warm. This is the cause, this is the reason why sometimes it becomes warm.”
