“You should answer them, ‘These pleasures will have seven fruits and virtues. What are the seven? In the present life, one achieves the realization of awakening. Even if one doesn’t achieve it, they will achieve it right before their life ends. If they don’t achieve it before their life ends, then they will end the five lower bonds and Parinirvāṇa in the interim, Parinirvāṇa at birth, Parinirvāṇa with practice, Parinirvāṇa without practice, or Parinirvāṇa upstream in Akaniṣṭha. Good men, these are the seven virtues of these pleasures.
