Sir, this is in reference to comment 35534 where you mentioned that devas cannot help humans.
I was thinking about the story of Mattakundali in the dhammapada story. His father was a miser
and the son died after being ill and due to lack of care by his miserly father, and became an angel because he saw the Buddha just before he was going to die and paid homage to the Buddha in his mind.
He came back as a angel and guided his father who was grieving for his dead son.
Is the angel a different category and not considered a deva?
