काचित्सुरत्वमायाति काचिदायाति यक्षताम् ।
उदेति प्रथमं सैषा ब्रह्मत्वं समवाश्नुते ॥ ५३ ॥

kācitsuratvamāyāti kācidāyāti yakṣatām |
udeti prathamaṃ saiṣā brahmatvaṃ samavāśnute || 53 ||

In the next step of animal creation, some were born as gods (angels) and others us Yakshas—demigods, and this is called the suranika, because the suras or gods were created in it.
