Then that lay follower Śaṅkha paid homage to and bowed down before the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, and having paid homage and bowed down, spoke thus:
"Venerable Sir! What does a soul overcome by anger bind? What does it produce? What does it accumulate? What does it augment?"
"Śaṅkha! A soul overcome by anger transforms the seven karma-species, excluding lifespan karma, that were bound with loose bonds into those bound with firm bonds; it transforms those of short duration into those of long duration; it transforms those of mild fruition into those of intense fruition; it transforms those with few space-points into those with many space-points; and it may bind or may not bind lifespan karma; and it repeatedly augments unpleasant-feeling-producing karma; and it wanders through the beginningless, endless, long, four-realm wilderness of saṃsāra."
"Venerable Sir! What does a soul overcome by pride bind? What does it produce? What does it accumulate? What does it augment?" Just so, up to "wanders through."
"Venerable Sir! What does a soul overcome by deceit bind? What does it produce? What does it accumulate? What does it augment?" Just so, up to "wanders through."
"Venerable Sir! What does a soul overcome by greed bind? What does it produce? What does it accumulate? What does it augment?" Just so, up to "wanders through."
Then those lay followers, having heard and grasped this matter in the presence of the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, became afraid, frightened, terrified, alarmed by the fear of saṃsāra; they paid homage to and bowed down before the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, and having paid homage and bowed down, went to where the lay follower Śaṅkha was; having approached, they paid homage to and bowed down before the lay follower Śaṅkha, and having paid homage and bowed down, properly and with humility repeatedly sought his forgiveness for that matter. Then those lay followers asked questions, and having asked, comprehended their meanings; and having comprehended, paid homage to and bowed down before the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, and having paid homage and bowed down, departed in the direction from which they had come.
"O Venerable Sir!" Saying thus, the venerable Gautama paid homage to and bowed down before the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, and having paid homage and bowed down, spoke thus: "Is the lay follower Śaṅkha capable, Venerable Sir, of becoming tonsured in the presence of the Beloved of the Gods and renouncing the household life for the homeless life?"
"This meaning is not admissible. Gautama! The lay follower Śaṅkha, cultivating his soul with many moral practices, vows, virtues, abstinences, renunciations, and poṣadha fasts, [and] with accepted austerities, will spend many years in the course of a lay follower; having spent [them], he will emaciate his soul through a one-month saṃlekhanā; having emaciated [it], he will forgo sixty meals through fasting; having forgone [them], having confessed and repented, having attained tranquil concentration, at the time of death, having met death, he will be reborn as a deity in the Aruṇābha vimāna in the Saudharma heaven. There, for some deities, a lifespan duration of four palyopamas is taught. There, the lifespan duration of Śaṅkha as a deity will also be four palyopamas."
"Venerable Sir! From that divine world, with the exhaustion of lifespan, with the exhaustion of existence, with the exhaustion of lifespan duration, immediately upon descending, where will that Śaṅkha deity go? Where will he be reborn?"
"Gautama! In the Mahāvideha realm, he will attain perfection, attain enlightenment, attain liberation, attain complete nirvāṇa, and put an end to all suffering."
"So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!"—up to [Gautama] continues to dwell.
