Dear S.B.G (Rob K,Connie, and all),

It is Mahaasamaya Sutta.

2. (latter part),

''Ye kesi Buddha.m sarana.m gataase,
Na te gamissanti apaayabhuumi.

Pahaaya maanusa.m deha.m,
devakaaya.m paripuuressantii'ti.''

'Venerable Sir, those who take the refuge in the Buddha would not
be reborn in the lower destinations.

After discarding humanly body (after death), they would be reborn
in deva worlds''.

With Metta,

Htoo Naing
