I didn't translate it

Pajāpati = Lord Mārå :thinking:
Sakkå = King of Heaven

Abhibhū = beings without perception

In heaven, we call "devå" for male;
"Devi" for female. I think, in jhānå 4
We calling: abhibhū for male/female.

Dhammapadå 370
"Tinggalkanlah 5 (belantara) dan patahkan 5 (belenggu rendah),
Serta kembangkan 5 potensi (4 iddhipādā + 1 ussoḷhi).
Bhikkhu yang telah menaklukkan 5 kungkungan (belenggu tinggi),
Lebih layak disebut 'orang yang telah mengarungi air baih (saṃsārå)'."
