The "Connected Discourses with the Cloud Devas" contains teachings about the valāhaka deities — beings associated with thunderclouds — including those of cool, warm, stormy, windy, and rainy clouds. These discourses describe the various classes of cloud deities and the conduct that leads to rebirth among them. This saṁyutta continues the cosmological theme of the preceding collections, illustrating how kamma shapes existence across the full range of celestial realms.
