"Is Sanatkumāra, Venerable Sir, the Indra and king of the gods, capable of liberation (bhavasiddhika) or incapable of liberation (abhavasiddhika)? Of right view or of wrong view? Of limited worldly existence (parittasaṃsārika) or of infinite worldly existence? One to whom enlightenment is easily attained or difficultly attained? An attainer [of liberation] or a non-attainer? In his final birth or not in his final birth?"
"Gautama! Sanatkumāra, the Indra and king of the gods, is capable of liberation, not incapable of liberation. He is of right view, not of wrong view. He is of limited worldly existence, not of infinite worldly existence. Enlightenment is easily attained for him, not difficultly attained. He is an attainer, not a non-attainer. He is in his final birth, not non-final."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, [is it said so]?"
"Gautama! Sanatkumāra, the Indra and king of the gods, wishes for the welfare, wishes for the happiness, wishes for the wholesome good, is compassionate toward, wishes for the ultimate good, and wishes for the welfare, happiness, and ultimate good of many monks, many nuns, many laymen, and many laywomen. For that reason, Gautama, Sanatkumāra, the Indra and king of the gods, is capable of liberation, not incapable of liberation; of right view, not of wrong view; of limited worldly existence, not of infinite worldly existence; one to whom enlightenment is easily attained, not difficultly attained; an attainer, not a non-attainer; in his final birth, not non-final."
"What duration of lifespan, Venerable Sir, is ordained for Sanatkumāra, the Indra and king of the gods?"
"Gautama! A lifespan duration of seven sāgaropamas is ordained."
"Venerable Sir, upon departing immediately from that celestial realm at the exhaustion of his lifespan, the exhaustion of his state of existence, and the exhaustion of his lifespan duration, where will he go? Where will he be reborn?"
"Gautama! In the region of Mahāvideha he will become perfected, awakened, liberated, fully extinguished, and put an end to all suffering."
"So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!"
