N: Yes, I think it is right.

Y.P.: What do you think? Then, for the phrase "kaayassa bhedaa para.m

N: But bhedaa is ablative, not the object of upapajjeyya.
para.ma mara.naa: after death, also Abl. The PED under bheda mentions these
two phrases. It would be: after the breaking up of the body.
So, I think that upapajjeyya belongs only to sugati.m sagga.m loka.m.
