The Long Āgama Sūtra 23.47

23.47

佛告婆羅門：「彼剎利王為大祀已，剃除鬚髮，服三法衣，出家為道，修四無量心，身壞命終，生梵天上。時，王夫人為大施已，亦復除髮，服三法衣，出家修道，行四梵行，身壞命終，生梵天上。婆羅門大臣教王四方祭祀已，亦為大施，然後剃除鬚髮，服三法衣，出家修道，行四梵行，身壞命終，生梵天上。」

The Buddha told the priest, “After that warrior king’s large sacrifice, he cut off his hair and beard, put on the three Dharma robes, and left home for the path. He cultivated the four measureless mental states until his body broke up and his life ended, and he was born in the Brahma Heaven.

“After she had made her great gift, the king’s wife also cut off her hair, put on the three Dharma robes, and left home to cultivate the path. She practiced the four Brahma practices until her body broke up and her life ended, and she was born in the Brahma Heaven. After teaching the king the four methods of ritual sacrifice, the priestly great minister also made a great gift. Afterward, he cut off his hair and beard, put on the three Dharma robes, and left home to cultivate the path. He practiced the four Brahma practices until his body broke up and his life ended, and he was born in the Brahma Heaven.”
