And there’s no ascetic or brahmin who is well attained and practiced, and who describes the afterlife after realizing it with their own insight.’

Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tividhā manokammantasampatti kusalasañcetanikā sukhudrayā sukhavipākā hoti.
These are the three kinds of successful mental action.
तिविधकायकम्मन्तसम्पत्तिकुसलसञ्चेतनिकाहेतु वा, भिक्खवे, सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति; चतुब्बिधवचीकम्मन्तसम्पत्तिकुसलसञ्चेतनिकाहेतु वा, भिक्खवे, सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति; तिविधमनोकम्मन्तसम्पत्तिकुसलसञ्चेतनिकाहेतु वा, भिक्खवे, सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति।
Tividhakāyakammantasampattikusalasañcetanikāhetu vā, bhikkhave, sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti; catubbidhavacīkammantasampattikusalasañcetanikāhetu vā, bhikkhave, sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti; tividhamanokammantasampattikusalasañcetanikāhetu vā, bhikkhave, sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti.
When their body breaks up, after death, sentient beings are reborn in a good place, in heaven because of these three kinds of successful bodily action, these four kinds of successful verbal action, or these three kinds of successful mental action that have skillful intention, with happiness as their outcome and result.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, अपण्णको मणि उद्धङ्खित्तो येन येनेव पतिट्ठाति सुप्पतिट्ठितंयेव पतिट्ठाति; एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, तिविधकायकम्मन्तसम्पत्तिकुसलसञ्चेतनिकाहेतु वा सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति; चतुब्बिधवचीकम्मन्तसम्पत्तिकुसलसञ्चेतनिकाहेतु वा सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति; तिविधमनोकम्मन्तसम्पत्तिकुसलसञ्चेतनिकाहेतु वा सत्ता कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जन्ति। नाहं, भिक्खवे, सञ्चेतनिकानं कम्मानं कतानं उपचितानं अप्पटिसंवेदित्वा ब्यन्तीभावं वदामि। तञ्च खो दिट्ठेव धम्मे उपपज्जे वा अपरे वा परियाये। न त्वेवाहं, भिक्खवे, सञ्चेतनिकानं कम्मानं कतानं उपचितानं अप्पटिसंवेदित्वा दुक्खस्सन्तकिरियं वदामी”ति। सत्तमं।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, apaṇṇako maṇi uddhaṅkhitto yena yeneva patiṭṭhāti suppatiṭṭhitaṁyeva patiṭṭhāti; evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tividhakāyakammantasampattikusalasañcetanikāhetu vā sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti; catubbidhavacīkammantasampattikusalasañcetanikāhetu vā sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti; tividhamanokammantasampattikusalasañcetanikāhetu vā sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjanti. Nāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sañcetanikānaṁ kammānaṁ katānaṁ upacitānaṁ appaṭisaṁveditvā byantībhāvaṁ vadāmi. Tañca kho diṭṭheva dhamme upapajje vā apare vā pariyāye. Na tvevāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sañcetanikānaṁ kammānaṁ katānaṁ upacitānaṁ appaṭisaṁveditvā dukkhassantakiriyaṁ vadāmī”ti. Sattamaṁ.
It’s like throwing loaded dice: they always fall the right side up. In the same way, when their body breaks up, after death, sentient beings are reborn in a good place, in heaven because of these three kinds of successful bodily action, these four kinds of successful verbal action, or these three kinds of successful mental action that have skillful intention, with happiness as their outcome and result. I don’t say that intentional deeds that have been performed and accumulated are eliminated without being experienced. And that may be in the present life, or in the next life, or in some subsequent period. And I don’t say that suffering is ended without experiencing intentional deeds that have been performed and accumulated.”
