Sūta said: Women on a par with the celestial damsels give birth to twins. They drink the milk of the Kṣīrin trees comparable to nectar. The twins are born in a trice and they grow together. Their conduct of life, habits, forms and features and lovable qualities are all equal. They love one another and have the same activities and practices as the Cakravāka birds (Ruddy geese). They are always free from ailments and devoid of sorrows. They resort to perpetual pleasure. They are of great vigour and vitality. They live for fourteen thousand five hundred years. They never carnally approach another men’s wives.
