1.2Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:Seated to one side, that mendicant said to the Buddha:

1.3“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo, yenekadā vāto hotī”ti?“Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason why sometimes it becomes windy?”

1.4“Santi, bhikkhu, vātavalāhakā nāma devā.“Mendicant, there are what are named gods of the windy thunderclouds.1.5Tesaṁ yadā evaṁ hoti:Sometimes they think:1.6‘yannūna mayaṁ sakāya ratiyā vaseyyāmā’ti, tesaṁ taṁ cetopaṇidhimanvāya vāto hoti.‘Why don’t we revel in our own kind of enjoyment?’ Then, in accordance with their wish, it becomes windy.1.7Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhu, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo, yenekadā vāto hotī”ti.This is the cause, this is the reason why sometimes it becomes windy.”1.8Chappaññāsamaṁ.
