23.3.3.1
Bodhisatto issariyakāmakārikāhetu gabbhaseyyaṃ okkamatīti?
“Does a bodhisatta enter the womb by reason of exercising sovereign free will?”
(b) You maintain that he entered the womb of his own free will. Do you also imply that he chose to be reborn in purgatory, or as an animal? That he possessed magic potency? You deny. I ask it again. You assent. Then did he practise the Four Steps to that potency—will, effort, thought, investigation? Neither can you quote me here a Sutta in justification.
23.3.3.2
Āmantā.
Yes.
23.3.3.3
Bodhisatto issariyakāmakārikāhetu nirayaṃ upapajjeyya, tiracchānayoniṃ upapajjeyyāti?
“Would a bodhisatta be reborn in hell or reborn in the animal realm by reason of exercising sovereign free will?”
23.3.3.4
Na hevaṃ vattabbe …pe….
It should not be said thus …
