   Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sakkesu viharati kapilavatthusmiṁ nigrodhārāme.

   At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Sakyans, near Kapilavatthu in the Banyan Tree Monastery.

5. 5

   Then Vappa of the Sakyans, a disciple of the Jains, went up to Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, bowed, and sat down to one side. Mahāmoggallāna said to him:

6. 6

   “इधस्स,i·dhas·sa वप्प,vap·pa कायेनkā·ye·na संवुतोsaṃ·vu·to वाचायvā·cā·ya संवुतोsaṃ·vu·to मनसाma·na·sā संवुतोsaṃ·vu·to अविज्जाविरागाa·vij·jā·vi·rā·gā विज्जुप्पादा।vij·jup·pā·dā

   “Idhassa, vappa, kāyena saṁvuto vācāya saṁvuto manasā saṁvuto avijjāvirāgā vijjuppādā.

   “Vappa, take an individual who, due to the fading away of ignorance and the arising of knowledge, is restrained in body, speech, and mind.

7. 7

   Passasi no tvaṁ, vappa, taṁ ṭhānaṁ yatonidānaṁ purisaṁ dukkhavedaniyā āsavā assaveyyuṁ abhisamparāyan”ti?

   Do you see any reason why defilements giving rise to painful feelings would defile that person in the next life?”

8. 8

   “पस्सामहं,pas·sā·ma·haṃ भन्ते,bhan·te तंtaṃ ठानं।ṭhā·naṃ

   “Passāmahaṁ, bhante, taṁ ṭhānaṁ.

   “Sir, I do see such a case.

9. 9

   Idhassa, bhante, pubbe pāpakammaṁ kataṁ avipakkavipākaṁ.

   Take someone who did bad deeds in a past life. But the result of that has not yet ripened.

10. 10

    Tatonidānaṁ purisaṁ dukkhavedaniyā āsavā assaveyyuṁ abhisamparāyan”ti.

    For this reason defilements giving rise to painful feelings would defile that person in the next life.”

11. 11

    Ayañceva kho pana āyasmato mahāmoggallānassa vappena sakkena nigaṇṭhasāvakena saddhiṁ antarākathā vippakatā hoti.

    But this conversation between Mahāmoggallāna and Vappa was left unfinished.

12. 12

    Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to the assembly hall. He sat down on the seat spread out, and said to Mahāmoggallāna,

13. 13

    “कायkā·ya नुत्थ,nut·tha मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na एतरहिe·ta·ra·hi कथायka·thā·ya सन्निसिन्ना;san·ni·sin·nā काkā चca पनpa·na वोvo अन्तराकथाan·ta·rā·ka·thā विप्पकता”ति?vip·pa·ka·tā

    “Kāya nuttha, moggallāna, etarahi kathāya sannisinnā; kā ca pana vo antarākathā vippakatā”ti?

    “Moggallāna, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was left unfinished?”

14. 14

    “इधाहं,i·dhā·haṃ भन्ते,bhan·te वप्पंvap·paṃ सक्कंsak·kaṃ निगण्ठसावकंni·gaṇ·ṭha·sā·va·kaṃ एतदवोचं:e·ta·da·vo·caṃ

    “Idhāhaṁ, bhante, vappaṁ sakkaṁ nigaṇṭhasāvakaṁ etadavocaṁ:

    Moggallāna repeated the entire conversation to the Buddha, and concluded:

15. 15

    ‘इधस्स,i·dhas·sa वप्प,vap·pa कायेनkā·ye·na संवुतोsaṃ·vu·to वाचायvā·cā·ya संवुतोsaṃ·vu·to मनसाma·na·sā संवुतोsaṃ·vu·to अविज्जाविरागाa·vij·jā·vi·rā·gā विज्जुप्पादा।vij·jup·pā·dā

    Then the Buddha said to Vappa,
