- These must be Devas in the lowest realm. They live among us, i.e., on the Earth’s surface, unlike higher Deva realms far above. There is not much information about them in the suttas, so we don’t know enough details. They probably have physical bodies denser than other Devas, but subtler than ours.
P.S. Note that it does not say they eat fruits; they absorb the aroma of fruits. Even those Devas do not have a digestive system like ours. They just absorb the aroma.
