The Realm of the Gods
“सचे वो, भिक्खवे, अञ्ञतित्थिया परिब्बाजका एवं पुच्छेय्युं: ‘देवलोकूपपत्तिया, आवुसो, समणे गोतमे ब्रह्मचरियं वुस्सथाऽति? ननु तुम्हे, भिक्खवे, एवं पुट्ठा अट्टीयेय्याथ हरायेय्याथ जिगुच्छेय्याथा”ति?
“Sace vo, bhikkhave, aññatitthiyā paribbājakā evaṁ puccheyyuṁ: ‘devalokūpapattiyā, āvuso, samaṇe gotame brahmacariyaṁ vussathā’ti? Nanu tumhe, bhikkhave, evaṁ puṭṭhā aṭṭīyeyyātha harāyeyyātha jiguccheyyāthā”ti?
“Bhikkhus, if wanderers who follow another religion were to ask you: ‘Friend, do you lead the spiritual life with the ascetic Gotama so that you can be reborn in the realm of the gods?’ Being questioned like this, wouldn’t you be horrified, repelled, and disgusted?”
“एवं, भन्ते”।
“Evaṁ, bhante”.
“Yes, sir.”
“इति किर तुम्हे, भिक्खवे, दिब्बेन आयुना अट्टीयथ हरायथ जिगुच्छथ, दिब्बेन वण्णेन दिब्बेन सुखेन दिब्बेन यसेन दिब्बेनाधिपतेय्येन अट्टीयथ हरायथ जिगुच्छथ; पगेव खो पन, भिक्खवे, तुम्हेहि कायदुच्चरितेन अट्टीयितब्बं हरायितब्बं जिगुच्छितब्बं, वचीदुच्चरितेन … मनोदुच्चरितेन अट्टीयितब्बं हरायितब्बं जिगुच्छितब्बन्”ति।
“Iti kira tumhe, bhikkhave, dibbena āyunā aṭṭīyatha harāyatha jigucchatha, dibbena vaṇṇena dibbena sukhena dibbena yasena dibbenādhipateyyena aṭṭīyatha harāyatha jigucchatha; pageva kho pana, bhikkhave, tumhehi kāyaduccaritena aṭṭīyitabbaṁ harāyitabbaṁ jigucchitabbaṁ, vacīduccaritena … manoduccaritena aṭṭīyitabbaṁ harāyitabbaṁ jigucchitabban”ti.
“So it seems that you are horrified, repelled, and disgusted by divine lifespan, beauty, happiness, fame, and sovereignty. How much more then should you be horrified, embarrassed, and disgusted by bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind.”
