Vajjīsutta
In the Land of the Vajjis
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vajjīsu viharati hatthigāme.
At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Vajjis at Elephant Village.
Atha kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Then the householder Ugga of Elephant Village went up to the Buddha, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti?
“What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings aren’t fully extinguished in the present life?
Ko pana, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti?
What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in the present life?” …
(Yathā purimasuttantaṁ, evaṁ vitthāretabbaṁ.)
(Tell in full as in the previous discourse.)
“Ayaṁ kho, gahapati, hetu ayaṁ paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
