“Venerable Sir! When a soul is destined to be reborn among the inhabitants of hell, does it, Venerable Sir, transmigrate possessing lifespan [karma] or lacking lifespan [karma]?”
“Gautama! It transmigrates possessing lifespan [karma], not lacking lifespan [karma].”
“Where, Venerable Sir, was that lifespan made? Where was it acquired?”
“Gautama! It was made in the previous life; it was acquired in the previous life. In this way up to the celestial beings according to the standard sequence.”
“Is it indeed so, Venerable Sir, that into whatever womb it is destined to be reborn, it generates that lifespan—namely, a lifespan as an inhabitant of hell, or a lifespan as an animal, or a lifespan as a human, or a lifespan as a celestial being?”
“Yes, Gautama! Into whatever womb it is destined to be reborn, it generates that lifespan—namely, a lifespan as an inhabitant of hell, or a lifespan as an animal, or a lifespan as a human, or a lifespan as a celestial being. When generating a lifespan as an inhabitant of hell, it generates [one of] seven kinds, namely: a lifespan as an inhabitant of the hell in the Ratnaprabhā earth, or a lifespan as an inhabitant of the hell in the Śarkarāprabhā earth, or a lifespan as an inhabitant of the hell in the Vālukāprabhā earth, or a lifespan as an inhabitant of the hell in the Paṅkaprabhā earth, or a lifespan as an inhabitant of the hell in the Dhūmaprabhā earth, or a lifespan as an inhabitant of the hell in the Tamaḥprabhā earth, or a lifespan as an inhabitant of the hell in the lower seventh earth.
When generating a lifespan as an animal, it generates [one of] five kinds, namely: a lifespan as a one-sensed animal, or a lifespan as a two-sensed animal, or a lifespan as a three-sensed animal, or a lifespan as a four-sensed animal, or a lifespan as a five-sensed animal.
It generates a lifespan as a human of two kinds, namely: a lifespan as an asexually generated human, or a lifespan as a womb-born human.
It generates a lifespan as a celestial being of four kinds, namely: a lifespan as a residential celestial being, or a lifespan as an intermedial celestial being, or a lifespan as an astral celestial being, or a lifespan as a celestial being of the celestial abodes.”
“It is just so, Venerable Sir! It is just so, Venerable Sir!”
