Explanation in English from 膧c膩rya P奴jyap膩da鈥檚 Sarv膩rthasiddhi:
What is the nature of pleasures of the rest?
The word 鈥�para鈥� means all the remaining deva or celestial beings. The word 鈥�补辫谤补惫墨肠腻谤补鈥� indicates much higher kind of happiness. Copulation (辫谤补惫墨肠腻谤补) is merely a palliative for pain; it only provides temporary relief. In the absence of pain or uneasiness, the remaining deva enjoy much higher kind of happiness incessantly.
