Answer: As in the \*Nirvāṇa-sūtra\*, when the five hundred brahmins were killed by King Seniya and arrived in the hells, they generated three wholesome thoughts and remembered what they had originally done—this is its verification. Furthermore, as the treatises say, sentient beings in the hells are also able to remember and know the minds of the hell wardens and so forth, which is also its verification. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 26.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.26.14) - [Next: 26.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.26.16) - [Up: 26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.26) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.26.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.26.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.26.15) · Pramāṇa
