"Venerable Sir, is the proclamation (pravacana) the proclamation, or is the proclaimer the proclamation?"
"Gautama! The arhat is indeed necessarily the proclaimer, but the proclamation is the twelve-limbed Basket of the Gaṇadharas (Gaṇipiṭaka), namely: Ācāra, Sūtrakṛta, Sthāna, Samavāya, Vyākhyāprajñapti, Jñātādharmakathāḥ, Upāsakadaśāḥ, Antakṛddaśāḥ, Anuttaraupapātikadaśāḥ, Praśnavyākaraṇāni, Vipākaśruta, and Dṛṣṭivāda."
"Venerable Sir, do these Ugras, Bhogas, Rājanyas, Ikṣvākus, Jñātas, and Kauravyas—plunging into this Dharma, wash away the eightfold dirt-stain of karma, and having washed it away, then become liberated up to make an end to all suffering?"
"Yes, Gautama! These Ugras, Bhogas, Rājanyas, Ikṣvākus, Jñātas, and Kauravyas—plunging into this Dharma, wash away the eightfold dirt-stain of karma, and having washed it away, then become liberated up to make an end to all suffering; some are reborn as gods in one or another of the celestial realms."
"Venerable Sir, how many kinds of celestial realms are declared?"
"Gautama! Four kinds of celestial realms are declared, namely: Bhavanavāsin, Vāṇavyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika."
"It is so, Venerable Sir! It is so, Venerable Sir!"
