7.34

迦葉言:「諸天亦爾。此閻浮利地,臭穢不淨,諸天在上,去此百由旬,遙聞人臭,甚於廁溷。婆羅門!汝親族知識,十善具足,然必生天,五欲自娛,快樂無極,寧當復肯還來,入此閻浮廁不?」

Kāśyapa said, “The gods are likewise. The lands of Jambudvīpa are polluted and impure to those in the heavens above. They can smell people’s bad odor from more than a hundred leagues away like it’s a horrible latrine. Priest, that relative you knew who completed the ten good deeds was surely born in a heaven where they enjoy the five desires. Their happiness is unsurpassable. Would they return to this latrine of Jambudvīpa?”
