एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो सो भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Buddha:
“को नु खो, भन्ते, हेतु, को पच्चयो, येन मिधेकच्चो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सारगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं …पे… फेग्गुगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … तचगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … पपटिकगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … पत्तगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … पुप्फगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … फलगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … रसगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … गन्धगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जती”ति?
“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo, yena midhekacco kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sāragandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ …pe… pheggugandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … tacagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … papaṭikagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … pattagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … pupphagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … phalagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … rasagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … gandhagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjatī”ti?
“Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason why someone, when their body breaks up, after death, is reborn in the company of the gods of fairykind who live in fragrant heartwood … softwood … bark … sprouts … leaves … flowers … fruit … sap … fragrant scents?”
“इध, भिक्खु, एकच्चो कायेन सुचरितं चरति, वाचाय सुचरितं चरति, मनसा सुचरितं चरति। तस्स सुतं होति: ‘सारगन्धे अधिवत्था देवा दीघायुका वण्णवन्तो सुखबहुलाऽति। तस्स एवं होति: ‘अहो वताहं कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सारगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं …पे… फेग्गुगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … तचगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … पपटिकगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … पत्तगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … पुप्फगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … फलगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … रसगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं … गन्धगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जेय्यन्ऽति। सो दाता होति सारगन्धानं …पे… सो दाता होति फेग्गुगन्धानं … सो दाता होति तचगन्धानं … सो दाता होति पपटिकगन्धानं … सो दाता होति पत्तगन्धानं … सो दाता होति पुप्फगन्धानं … सो दाता होति फलगन्धानं … सो दाता होति रसगन्धानं … सो दाता होति गन्धगन्धानं। सो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा गन्धगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जति। अयं खो, भिक्खु, हेतु, अयं पच्चयो, येन मिधेकच्चो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा गन्धगन्धे अधिवत्थानं देवानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जती”ति।
“Idha, bhikkhu, ekacco kāyena sucaritaṁ carati, vācāya sucaritaṁ carati, manasā sucaritaṁ carati. Tassa sutaṁ hoti: ‘sāragandhe adhivatthā devā dīghāyukā vaṇṇavanto sukhabahulā’ti. Tassa evaṁ hoti: ‘aho vatāhaṁ kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sāragandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ …pe… pheggugandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … tacagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … papaṭikagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … pattagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … pupphagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … phalagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … rasagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ … gandhagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjeyyan’ti. So dātā hoti sāragandhānaṁ …pe… so dātā hoti pheggugandhānaṁ … so dātā hoti tacagandhānaṁ … so dātā hoti papaṭikagandhānaṁ … so dātā hoti pattagandhānaṁ … so dātā hoti pupphagandhānaṁ … so dātā hoti phalagandhānaṁ … so dātā hoti rasagandhānaṁ … so dātā hoti gandhagandhānaṁ. So kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā gandhagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjati. Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhu, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo, yena midhekacco kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā gandhagandhe adhivatthānaṁ devānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjatī”ti.
“Bhikkhu, it’s when someone does good things by way of body, speech, and mind. And they’ve heard: ‘The gods of fairykind who live in fragrant heartwood … fragrant scents are long-lived, beautiful, and very happy.’ They think: ‘If only, when my body breaks up, after death, I would be reborn in the company of the gods of fairykind who live in fragrant heartwood … fragrant scents!’ They give gifts of fragrant heartwood … fragrant scents. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in the company of the gods of fairykind who live in fragrant scents. This is the cause, this is the reason why someone, when their body breaks up, after death, is reborn in the company of the gods of fairykind who live on fragrant scents.”
