Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 50.6.4

50.6.4

爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「我今明曉地獄，亦知趣地獄之徑，亦復知彼地獄眾生之本。設復眾生造諸惡不善之行，身壞命終，入地獄中，我亦知之。又復，比丘！我亦知明曉畜生，亦知趣畜生之道，亦復知畜生之本，作諸惡元生彼者亦悉曉了。我今亦知餓鬼之道，其有作惡根元者，生餓鬼中，我亦知之。我今亦知人道向人之趣，其有眾生得人身者，我亦知之。我亦知趣天之道，其有眾生作諸德本，生彼天上，我亦知之。我亦知涅槃之趣，其有眾生有漏盡成無漏，心解脫、智慧解脫，於現法中而取證果，我亦知之。

It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “Now, hell is quite clear to me. I know the way that leads to hell, and I know the origins of those sentient beings in hell. Supposing, again, a sentient being does bad and unskillful actions, and they enter hell after their body breaks up and their life ends, I know of that, too.

“Furthermore, monks, I clearly know the births as animals. I know the way that leads to birth as animals, and I know the origins of those sentient beings that are born as animals. I fully and clearly understand the evils that are the origin for those beings.

“Now, I know the way of the hungry ghosts and the evil roots they make that were their origins. I know those born among hungry ghosts, too.

“Now, I know the human destiny and the way leading to humans, and I know those sentient beings that’ve obtained a human body, too.

“I know the way leading to heaven, the merits that sentient beings make that are its origins, and I know those born up in the heavens, too.

“I also know the way to Nirvāṇa and those sentient beings who’ve ended the contaminants. Becoming uncontaminated, their minds are liberated, and their wisdom is liberated. In the present life, they’ve grasped and realized that result. I know of them, too.
