26.2.982

“Venerable Sir! Did a successively-born inhabitant of hell bind evil karma?”—the question.
“Gautama! In some cases, the first and second [alternatives apply]. Thus, just as the first uddeśaka [was stated], so too the uddeśaka regarding the successively-born is to be stated, beginning with inhabitants of hell, likewise containing the nine series of groups. For all eight karmic types, whatever statement applies to whichever karma, that is to be understood without omission or addition, up to the Vaimānikas engaged without form-awareness.
‘So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!’”
