"Venerable Sir! Does an entirely ignorant human bind lifespan of hell-beings? Lifespan of animals? Lifespan of humans? Lifespan of celestial beings? Having bound lifespan of hell-beings, is he reborn among hell-beings? Having bound lifespan of animals, is he reborn among animals? Having bound lifespan of humans, is he reborn among humans? Having bound lifespan of celestial beings, is he reborn in the celestial realms?"
"Gautama! An entirely ignorant human binds lifespan of hell-beings also, binds lifespan of animals also, binds lifespan of humans also, binds lifespan of celestial beings also. Having bound lifespan of hell-beings, he is reborn among hell-beings; having bound lifespan of animals, he is reborn among animals; having bound lifespan of humans, he is reborn among humans; having bound lifespan of celestial beings, he is reborn in the celestial realms."
