“तयोमे, भिक्खवे, पुग्गला सन्तो संविज्जमाना लोकस्मिं। कतमे तयो?
“Tayome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. Katame tayo?
“These three people are found in the world. What three?
इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पुग्गलो सब्याबज्झं कायसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति, सब्याबज्झं वचीसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति, सब्याबज्झं मनोसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति। सो सब्याबज्झं कायसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा, सब्याबज्झं वचीसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा, सब्याबज्झं मनोसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा सब्याबज्झं लोकं उपपज्जति। तमेनं सब्याबज्झं लोकं उपपन्नं समानं सब्याबज्झा फस्सा फुसन्ति। सो सब्याबज्झेहि फस्सेहि फुट्ठो समानो सब्याबज्झं वेदनं वेदयति एकन्तदुक्खं, सेय्यथापि सत्ता नेरयिका।
Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo sabyābajjhaṁ1 kāyasaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti, sabyābajjhaṁ vacīsaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti, sabyābajjhaṁ manosaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti. So sabyābajjhaṁ kāyasaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā, sabyābajjhaṁ vacīsaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā, sabyābajjhaṁ manosaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā sabyābajjhaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati. Tamenaṁ sabyābajjhaṁ lokaṁ upapannaṁ samānaṁ sabyābajjhā phassā phusanti. So sabyābajjhehi phassehi phuṭṭho samāno sabyābajjhaṁ vedanaṁ vedayati ekantadukkhaṁ, seyyathāpi sattā nerayikā.
Firstly, a certain person makes hurtful choices by way of body, speech, and mind. Having made these choices, they’re reborn in a hurtful world, where hurtful contacts strike them. Touched by hurtful contacts, they experience hurtful feelings that are exclusively painful—like the beings in hell.
इध पन, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पुग्गलो अब्याबज्झं कायसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति, अब्याबज्झं वचीसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति, अब्याबज्झं मनोसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति। सो अब्याबज्झं कायसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा, अब्याबज्झं वचीसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा, अब्याबज्झं मनोसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा अब्याबज्झं लोकं उपपज्जति। तमेनं अब्याबज्झं लोकं उपपन्नं समानं अब्याबज्झा फस्सा फुसन्ति। सो अब्याबज्झेहि फस्सेहि फुट्ठो समानो अब्याबज्झं वेदनं वेदयति एकन्तसुखं, सेय्यथापि देवा सुभकिण्हा।
Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo abyābajjhaṁ kāyasaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti, abyābajjhaṁ vacīsaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti, abyābajjhaṁ manosaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti. So abyābajjhaṁ kāyasaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā, abyābajjhaṁ vacīsaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā, abyābajjhaṁ manosaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā abyābajjhaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati. Tamenaṁ abyābajjhaṁ lokaṁ upapannaṁ samānaṁ abyābajjhā phassā phusanti. So abyābajjhehi phassehi phuṭṭho samāno abyābajjhaṁ vedanaṁ vedayati ekantasukhaṁ, seyyathāpi devā subhakiṇhā.
Furthermore, another person makes pleasing choices by way of body, speech, and mind. Having made these choices, they are reborn in a pleasing world, where pleasing contacts strike them. Touched by pleasing contacts, they experience pleasing feelings that are exclusively happy—like the gods replete with glory.
इध पन, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पुग्गलो सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि कायसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति, सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि वचीसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति, सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि मनोसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरोति। सो सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि कायसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा, सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि वचीसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा, सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि मनोसङ्खारं अभिसङ्खरित्वा सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि लोकं उपपज्जति। तमेनं सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि लोकं उपपन्नं समानं सब्याबज्झापि अब्याबज्झापि फस्सा फुसन्ति। सो सब्याबज्झेहिपि अब्याबज्झेहिपि फस्सेहि फुट्ठो समानो सब्याबज्झम्पि अब्याबज्झम्पि वेदनं वेदयति वोकिण्णसुखदुक्खं, सेय्यथापि मनुस्सा एकच्चे च देवा एकच्चे च विनिपातिका।
Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi kāyasaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti, sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi vacīsaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti, sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi manosaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharoti. So sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi kāyasaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā, sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi vacīsaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā, sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi manosaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkharitvā sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi lokaṁ upapajjati. Tamenaṁ sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi lokaṁ upapannaṁ samānaṁ sabyābajjhāpi abyābajjhāpi phassā phusanti. So sabyābajjhehipi abyābajjhehipi phassehi phuṭṭho samāno sabyābajjhampi abyābajjhampi vedanaṁ vedayati vokiṇṇasukhadukkhaṁ, seyyathāpi manussā ekacce ca devā ekacce ca vinipātikā.
Furthermore, another person makes both hurtful and pleasing choices by way of body, speech, and mind. Having made these choices, they are reborn in a world that is both hurtful and pleasing, where hurtful and pleasing contacts strike them. Touched by both hurtful and pleasing contacts, they experience both hurtful and pleasing feelings that are a mixture of pleasure and pain—like humans, some gods, and some beings in the underworld.
इमे खो, भिक्खवे, तयो पुग्गला सन्तो संविज्जमाना लोकस्मिन्”ति।
Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.
These are the three people found in the world.”
ततियं।
Tatiyaṁ.
