Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā kāyasucaritena samannāgatā vacīsucaritena samannāgatā manosucaritena samannāgatā ariyānaṁ anupavādakā sammādiṭṭhikā sammādiṭṭhikammasamādānā.“Monks, I have seen beings who–endowed with bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, & mental good conduct; who did not revile noble ones, who held right views and undertook actions under the influence of right views– Te kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapannā.at the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in a good destination, a heavenly world.

Taṁ kho panāhaṁ, bhikkhave, nāññassa samaṇassa vā brāhmaṇassa vā sutvā vadāmi.It’s not from having heard this from another contemplative or brahman that I tell you that I have seen beings who– Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā kāyasucaritena samannāgatā vacīsucaritena samannāgatā manosucaritena samannāgatā ariyānaṁ anupavādakā sammādiṭṭhikā sammādiṭṭhikammasamādānā.endowed with bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, & mental good conduct; who did not revile noble ones, who held right views and undertook actions under the influence of right views– Te kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapannā.at the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in a good destination, a heavenly world. Api ca, bhikkhave, yadeva sāmaṁ ñātaṁ sāmaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sāmaṁ viditaṁ tadevāhaṁ vadāmi.It’s from having known it myself, seen it myself, realized it myself that I tell you that I have seen beings who–

Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā kāyasucaritena samannāgatā vacīsucaritena samannāgatā manosucaritena samannāgatā ariyānaṁ anupavādakā sammādiṭṭhikā sammādiṭṭhikammasamādānā.endowed with bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, & mental good conduct; who did not revile noble ones, who held right views and undertook actions under the influence of right views– Te kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapannā”ti.at the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in a good destination, a heavenly world.”

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Sammā manaṁ paṇidhāya, sammā vācañca bhāsiya;
sammā vācañca bhāsiya → sammā vācaṁ abhāsiya (si, sya-all, pts-vp-pli1)With mind rightly directed, speaking right speech, Sammā kammāni katvāna, kāyena idha puggalo.doing right deeds with the body: a person here

Bahussuto puññakaro, appasmiṁ idha jīvite;of much learning, a doer of merit here in this next-to-nothing life, Kāyassa bhedā sappañño, saggaṁ so upapajjatī”ti.at the break-up of the body, discerning, reappears in heaven.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.

Dutiyaṁ.
