Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
5

“भवो,bha·vo भवोति,bha·vo·ti भन्ते,bhan·te वुच्चति।vuc·ca·ti

“bhavo, bhavoti, bhante, vuccati.

“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘continued existence’.

“Kāmadhātuvepakkañca, ānanda, kammaṁ nābhavissa, api nu kho kāmabhavo paññāyethā”ti?

“If, Ānanda, there were no deeds to result in the sensual realm, would continued existence in the sensual realm still come about?”
8

“नोno हेतं,he·taṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

“No hetaṁ, bhante”.

“No, sir.”
9

“इतिi·ti खो,kho आनन्द,ā·nan·da कम्मंkam·maṃ खेत्तं,khet·taṃ विञ्ञाणंviñ·ñā·ṇaṃ बीजं,bī·jaṃ तण्हाtaṇ·hā स्नेहो।sne·ho

“Iti kho, ānanda, kammaṁ khettaṁ, viññāṇaṁ bījaṁ, taṇhā sneho.
