Lal,
Yes. That is what I meant. One does kusala kammma to attain Nibbana not a deva existence, but punna is inherent in it, it follows nonetheless (unless one has attained Arahanthood)- in other words, that deva existence will come, if one has not gone any further until death, ON THE WAY to Nibbana.
Is this not the case with those Ariyas in the deva and brahma worlds?; ‘So-and-so, because of such-and-such a deed or view, has appeared in such-and-such a world and will attain Nibbana from there’
