Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, as I have heard:
“Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā sakkārena abhibhūtā, pariyādinnacittā, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapannā.
“Bhikkhus, I have seen beings who, overcome by |respect::honor, accolade, reverence [sakkāra]| and with minds overwhelmed, upon the breaking up of the body, after death, have arisen in a state of loss, a |bad destination::state of misery [duggati]|, in a |realm of downfall::realm of misery [vinipāta]|, even in |hell::a place of intense suffering, lit. no good fortune [niraya]|.
Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā asakkārena abhibhūtā, pariyādinnacittā, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapannā.
Bhikkhus, I have seen beings who, overcome by |disrespect::disregard [asakkāra]| and with minds overwhelmed, upon the breaking up of the body, after death, have arisen in a state of loss, a bad destination, in the realms of downfall, even in hell.
Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā sakkārena ca asakkārena ca tadubhayena abhibhūtā, pariyādinnacittā, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapannā.
Bhikkhus, I have seen beings who, overcome by both respect and disrespect, and with minds overwhelmed, upon the breaking up of the body, after death, have arisen in a state of loss, a bad destination, in the realms of downfall, even in hell.
Taṁ kho panāhaṁ, bhikkhave, nāññassa samaṇassa vā brāhmaṇassa vā sutvā vadāmi; (…) api ca, bhikkhave, yadeva me sāmaṁ ñātaṁ sāmaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sāmaṁ viditaṁ tamevāhaṁ vadāmi.
But, bhikkhus, I do not say this having heard it from another ascetic or brahmin. Moreover, bhikkhus, what I have known for myself, seen for myself, and realized for myself, that is what I declare.
Diṭṭhā mayā, bhikkhave, sattā sakkārena abhibhūtā, pariyādinnacittā, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapannā.

Bhikkhus, I have seen beings who, overcome by both respect and disrespect, and with minds overwhelmed, upon the breaking up of the body, after death, have arisen in a state of loss, a bad destination, in the realms of downfall, even in hell.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Yassa sakkariyamānassa,
asakkārena cūbhayaṁ;
Samādhi na vikampati,
appamādavihārino.
“While being honored,
or shown dishonor, or by both;
For one whose |collectedness::stability of mind, stillness of mind, mental composure [samādhi]| does not waver,
as he dwells with a boundless mind —
Taṁ jhāyinaṁ sātatikaṁ,
sukhumadiṭṭhivipassakaṁ;
Upādānakkhayārāmaṁ,
āhu sappuriso itī”ti.
That one, meditative and |practicing continuously::diligent, persevering, consistent [sātatika]|,
refined in vision and insight;
Delighting in the ending of grasping,
is called a |true person::good person, worthy one, awakened being [sappurisa]|.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
