Then those Venerable elders expounded the fourfold Dharma to those lay followers and to that very large assembly, as follows:
refraining from all taking of life, refraining from all false speech,
refraining from all taking of what is not given, refraining from all external possessions.
Then those lay followers, having heard and grasped the Dharma in the presence of the Venerable elders, glad and pleased, up to their hearts expanding with joy, circumambulated them three times from right to left, and having circumambulated them, spoke thus: “Venerable Sirs! What is the fruit of self-restraint? What is the fruit of austerity?”
Then those Venerable elders spoke thus to those lay followers: “Noble ones! Self-restraint has cessation of inflow as its fruit; austerity has purification as its fruit.”
Then those lay followers spoke thus to the Venerable elders: “If, Venerable Sirs, self-restraint has cessation of inflow as its fruit and austerity has purification as its fruit, then by reason of what, Venerable Sirs, are gods reborn in the heavenly realms?”
Thereupon the elder named Kālikāputra spoke thus to those lay followers: “Noble ones! By previous austerity, gods are reborn in the heavenly realms.”
Thereupon the elder named Mehila spoke thus to those lay followers: “Noble ones! By previous self-restraint, gods are reborn in the heavenly realms.”
Thereupon the elder named Ānandarakṣita spoke thus to those lay followers: “Noble ones! By possessiveness of karma, gods are reborn in the heavenly realms.”
Thereupon the elder named Kāśyapa spoke thus to those lay followers: “Noble ones! By attachment, gods are reborn in the heavenly realms.”
“Noble ones! By previous austerity, by previous self-restraint, by possessiveness of karma, and by attachment, gods are reborn in the heavenly realms. Indeed this matter is true, and not at all spoken out of self-conceit.”
Then those lay followers, having received these such explanations from the Venerable elders, glad and pleased, venerated and paid homage to the Venerable elders, asked questions, grasped the meanings, and having grasped them, departed in the very direction from which they had appeared.
Then those elders, on another occasion, departed from the Puṣpavatī caitya in the city of Tuṅgiyā, and wandered outdoors on their journey through the countryside.
