### [v2.c27.132](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.132)

\*\*Pacchābhūmaka Sutta\*\* (=\*\*Mataka Sutta\*\*).—Once, when the Buddha was at the \*\*Pāvārika-ambavana\*\*, \*\*Asibandhakaputta\*\* visits him and asks if he claims to be able to send men heavenwards as do the \*\*Pacchābhūmaka\*\* brahmins. The Buddha explains to him that a man’s destiny depends on the life he leads; no one else can send him to heaven or to a place of suffering.¹
