[ The seventh Bhagavāna:--Existence of Dévas and Närakas cannot be denied by saying so. Enjoyers of the rewards of great punyas and papas are exclusively happy or exclusively miserable, as the case may be. The manusyas and tirjancas cannot be called exclusively happy and exclusively miserable respectively. Por, even the happiest human beings are susceptidle to the affiction of diseases, old age, etc. while even extremely miserable tıryancas, experience the happy touch of cold breeze etc. So, munuşyas and tiryancas, can never be taken as exclusively happy or exclusilvely miserable beings, while Närakas who suffer the consequences of pāpas, and Dévas who enjoy the fruit of punyas, can be easily admitted respectively as the excusively miserable and exclusively happy beings 1132611 ( 1874 )
Now, in reply to the question that " Wlay gods do not visit this world if at all they are existing ?" the author states:-- संकंतदिव्वपिम्मा विसयपसत्ताऽसमत्तकत्तव्वा । अणहीणमणुयकजा नरभरमसुभं न एंति सुरा ॥ ३२७ ॥ ( १८७५) Sankantadivvapimmä visayapasattā'samattakattavvā i Anahinamanuyakajja narabhavamasubham na énti sura || 327 ॥ [संक्रान्तदिव्यप्रेमाणो विषयप्रसक्ता असमाप्तकर्तव्याः ।
अनधीनमनुजकार्या नरभवमशुभं नागच्छन्ति सुराः ॥३२७॥ (१८७५) Sankrāntadivyaprémiņo visayprasakta asanıāptakrtavyāhi Anadhinamanujalāryā narabhavamaśubham nāgacchanti surāḥ 32711
Trans.--327 Invested with celestial love, and attached to the objects of pleasure, with their duties un-finished, and their deeds independent of human beings, divinities do not come into this inauspicious world. ( 1875)
टीका- नागच्छन्तीह सदैव सुरगणाः, संक्रान्तदिव्यप्रेमत्वात्, विषयप्रसक्तत्वात्, प्रकृष्टरूपादिगुणकामिनीप्रसक्तरम्यदेशान्तरगतपुरुषवत्ः वथा, असमाप्तकर्तव्यत्वात् , बहुकर्तव्यताप्रसाधननियुक्तविनीतपुरुषवत् । तथा,
