In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA class of devas who live in the Catummaharajika world. For ages they spend their time in laughter and in sport of sensual lusts. In consequence their self possession is corrupted and they fall from their state (D.i.19; PsA.441; NidA.i.108). They are so called because they are corrupted and are destroyed by sport (khiddaya padussanti, vinassanti) (DA.i.113). It is said that while playing about in such pleasances as Nandanavana, Cittalatavana and Pharusakavana, they forget to eat and drink and fade away like flowers. Their death is due to self consciousness (attasancetana) (AA.ii.544). They are, as it were, burnt up by their infatuation (mohassa anudaha nataya mohanavasena hi tesam satisammoso) (VibhA.498). They were present at the preaching of the Mahasamaya Sutta (D.ii.260). v.l. Khiddapadusika.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
