[1][pts] On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Migāramātā's Mansion in the Eastern Park.
Then Visāka Migāramātā approached the Blessed One ...
The Blessed One then said to her:
"Visāka, possessing eight qualities, a woman, with the breakup of the body, after death, is reborn in companionship with the agreeable-bodied deities.
What eight?"
[As in 8:46, including the verses.]
