"Venerable Sir!" Lord Gautama paid homage and bowed down to the Śramaṇa, the Blessed Mahāvīra, and having paid homage and bowed down, he spoke thus: "Indeed, Venerable Sir, the Beloved of the gods had a disciple, a homeless ascetic named Sarvānubhūti from the eastern country, who was naturally gentle, [upright, soft-natured,] up to well-disciplined. Venerable Sir, when he was reduced to a heap of ashes by Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra with the fiery power of his austerities, where did he go? Where was he reborn?"

"Indeed, Gautama, my disciple, the homeless ascetic named Sarvānubhūti from the eastern country, was naturally gentle, up to well-disciplined. When he was reduced to a heap of ashes by Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra with the fiery power of his austerities, having bypassed upwards [the realm of] the moon and sun, up to the Brahma, Lāntaka, and Mahāśukra heavens, he was reborn as a deity in the Sahasrāra heaven. There, a lifespan duration of eighteen sāgaropamas is declared for some deities; there, a lifespan duration of eighteen sāgaropamas is declared for the deity Sarvānubhūti as well."

"Venerable Sir, when that deity Sarvānubhūti falls immediately from that celestial realm upon the exhaustion of his lifespan, the exhaustion of his rebirth-state, and the exhaustion of his duration, where will he go? Where will he be reborn?"

"Gautama, he will attain perfection in the Mahāvideha realm, up to making an end of all suffering."

"Indeed, Venerable Sir, the Beloved of the gods had a disciple, a homeless ascetic named Sunakkhatta from the Kosala country, who was naturally gentle, up to well-disciplined. Venerable Sir, when he was afflicted by Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra with the fiery power of his austerities, having passed away at the appointed time of death, where did he go? Where was he reborn?"

"Indeed, Gautama, my disciple, the homeless ascetic named Sunakkhatta, was naturally gentle, up to well-disciplined. When he was afflicted by Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra with the fiery power of his austerities, he went to my presence, and having come, paid homage and bowed down; having paid homage and bowed down, he himself undertook the five great vows. Having undertaken them, he begged forgiveness of the monks and nuns; having begged forgiveness, having confessed and repented, having attained spiritual tranquility, he passed away at the appointed time of death. Having bypassed upwards [the realm of] the moon and sun, up to the Ānata, Prāṇata, and Āraṇa heavens, he was reborn as a deity in the Acyuta heaven. There, a lifespan duration of twenty-two sāgaropamas is declared for some deities; there, a lifespan duration of twenty-two sāgaropamas is declared for the deity Sunakkhatta as well."

"Venerable Sir, when that deity Sunakkhatta falls immediately from that celestial realm upon the exhaustion of his lifespan, the exhaustion of his rebirth-state, and the exhaustion of his duration, where will he go? Where will he be reborn?"

"Gautama, he will attain perfection in the Mahāvideha realm, up to making an end of all suffering."
