All divine beings generally have conceit. So, they fight each other. In fact, except arahat, all beings have it. It is not wonderful because it is nature of the world. Having controlling power of bodily action, verbal action, and mental action, arahat is not won in the world. Only he always wins everyone consisting of divine beings as one with insight conquest used to conquer others.
"Conquest of self is
indeed better than the conquest of other persons; of one who has disciplined
himself, who always practises self-control."
"Not even a god nor a
gandharva nor Mala along with Brahma could turn into defeat the victory of such
a one (who has conquered himself)."
