Vehapphala untranslated

Vehapphala. One of the Brahma worlds of the Rūpaloka plane. Beings are born there as a result of developing the Fourth Jhāna (Abhidh-s. chap. v., see. 3 d).

Their life-span is five hundred mahākalpas, (Ibid., sec. 6; AN.ii.128, 129) and even puthujjanas can be born there (VbhA.376).

Baka Brahma was once an inhabitant of Vehapphala (Ja.iii.358; SN­a.i.162).

Anāgāmīs born there reach Nibbāna without going elsewhere (VbhA.522).

Buddhaghosa explains (Ibid., 521= MN­a.i.29) the name thus: vipulā phalā ti Vehapphalā, Vehappala means great fruit. In ages in which the world is destroyed by wind, Vehapphala forms the limit of the destruction (Cp-a.9).
