   Ye kho pana te, bhikkhave, tiracchānagatā pāṇā sīhassa migarañño nadato saddaṁ suṇanti, te yebhuyyena bhayaṁ saṁvegaṁ santāsaṁ āpajjanti.

    In the same way, when a Realized One arises in the world—perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed—he teaches the Dhamma:

14. 14

    ‘इतिi·ti सक्कायो,sak·kā·yo इतिi·ti सक्कायसमुदयो,sak·kā·ya·sa·mu·da·yo इतिi·ti सक्कायनिरोधो,sak·kā·ya·ni·ro·dho इतिi·ti सक्कायनिरोधगामिनीsak·kā·ya·ni·ro·dha·gā·mi·nī पटिपदा’ति।pa·ṭi·pa·dā

    ‘iti sakkāyo, iti sakkāyasamudayo, iti sakkāyanirodho, iti sakkāyanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti.

    Now, there are gods who are long-lived, beautiful, and very happy, lasting long in their divine palaces. When they hear this teaching by the Realized One, they’re typically filled with fear, awe, and terror.

16. 16

    ‘अनिच्चाa·nic·cā वतva·ta किर,ki·ra भो,bho मयंma·yaṃ समानाsa·mā·nā निच्चम्हातिnic·cam·hā·ti अमञ्ञिम्ह;a·mañ·ñim·ha
