Sakka came, with his great retinue, to do honour to the Elder, and in the crush caused by his arrival Revatí was trampled to death. She was immediately reborn with a body three gávutas in height in Távatimsa, and, on discovering the cause of her happiness, she appeared with her followers before the people and declared her homage to Sáriputta.
