Ex. 1 (Part 4 of 4)
�Tena hi, gahapatiputta, su.nohi saadhuka.m
manasikarohi bhaasissaamii�ti.
�Then listen to this, householder�s son, pay careful
attention and I will tell you.�
�Eva.m, bhante�ti kho Sigaalako gahapatiputto
Bhagavato paccassosi.
�Yes, lord�, answered Sigalaka the householder�s son
to the Blessed One.
Bhagavaa etadavoca: �Yato kho, gahapatiputta,
ariyasaavakassa cattaaro kammakilesaa pahiinaa honti,
catuuhi ca .thaanehi paapakamma.m na karoti, cha ca
bhogaana.m apaayamukhaani na sevati, so eva.m cuddasa
paapakaapagato chaddisaa pa.ticchaadii
ubholokavijayaaya pa.tipanno hoti. Tassa aya~nc�eva
loko aaraddho hoti paro ca loko. So kaayassa bhedaa
para.m mara.naa sugati.m sagga.m loka.m upapajjati.
The Blessed One said thus: �Indeed when, householder�s
son, for a noble disciple, the four defilements of
action are abandoned, and he does not perform evil by
means of the four causes, and he does not practice the
six ways of squandering his wealth, thus desisting
from the fourteen evils, then that is how the six
directions are covered, and he is entered upon the
triumph of both worlds. Thus he is established in
this world and the next. At the breaking up of the
body and after death he will be reborn in a good
destination, a heavenly place.�
