The Discourse on Storm Cloud Devas
604.
At Sāvatthī.
Seated to one side, that monk said this to the Blessed One:
"What, venerable sir, is the cause, what is the condition, whereby there is sometimes cloud?"
"There are, monk, gods named cloud rain cloud gods.
When for them it occurs thus -
'What if we were to dwell in our own delight,' following that mental aspiration of theirs, there is cloud.
This, monk, is the cause, this is the condition, whereby there is sometimes cloud."
The fifty-fifth.
