“Is it so, Venerable Sir, that one who is self-restrained, abstinent, who has warded off and renounced sinful karma, is established in Dharma? That one who is unrestrained, non-abstinent, who has not warded off and not renounced sinful karma, is established in adharma? That one who is partially restrained and partially unrestrained is established in dharma-adharma?”
“Yes, Gautama! One who is self-restrained, abstinent, who has warded off and renounced sinful karma, is established in Dharma. One who is unrestrained, non-abstinent, who has not warded off and not renounced sinful karma, is established in adharma. One who is partially restrained and partially unrestrained is established in dharma-adharma.”
“Venerable Sir, in this Dharma, or in adharma, or in dharma-adharma, is anyone able to sit, or to lie down, or to stand, or to sit down, or to turn over?”
“Gautama, this meaning is not admissible.”
“For what reason, then, Venerable Sir, is it said up to: ‘One who is partially restrained and partially unrestrained is established in dharma-adharma’?”
“Gautama! One who is self-restrained, abstinent, who has warded off and renounced sinful karma, is established in Dharma, and having attained Dharma, he abides. One who is unrestrained, non-abstinent, who has not warded off and not renounced sinful karma, is established in adharma, and having attained adharma, he abides. One who is partially restrained and partially unrestrained is established in dharma-adharma, and having attained dharma-adharma, he abides. For that reason, [it is said] up to: ‘established in dharma-adharma’.
“Venerable Sir, are jīvas established in Dharma? Established in adharma? Established in dharma-adharma?”
“Gautama, jīvas are established in Dharma, also established in adharma, and also established in dharma-adharma.”
“Regarding inhabitants of hell—[the same] question.”
“Gautama, inhabitants of hell are not established in Dharma; they are established in adharma; they are not established in dharma-adharma. In this way up to four-sensed beings.”
“Regarding five-sensed beings of the animal realm—[the same] question.”
“Gautama, five-sensed beings of the animal realm are not established in Dharma; they are established in adharma, and also established in dharma-adharma. Humans are just like jīvas. Vyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika [gods] are like inhabitants of hell.”
