Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vimana-Vathu of the Khuddhaka Nikaya Sutta Pitaka
The lives of the Dewas in these vimz'mas or palaces were limited, and depended on the merits resulting from their good acts. From all that we read of them we can well infer that these habitations were the centres of supreme felicity. It is doubtless with much forethought that peculiar stress is laid, in our work, on the description of these vimanas, in order to induce listeners to lead good and unblemished lives, to be pure in their acts, and to be zealous in the performance of their religious duties.
