[172] But here, Sāriputta, having encompassed his mind (ceto) with my own mind, I understand a certain individual thus: 'This individual is practicing in such a way, conducting himself in such a way, and has entered upon such a path that, with the breaking up of the body, after death, he will be reborn in the animal realm (tiracchānayoni).' Then, at a later time, with the divine eye (dibbacakkhu), which is purified and surpasses the human, I see him — with the breaking up of the body, after death, reborn in the animal realm, experiencing feelings (vedanā) that are painful, racking, and sharp. Suppose, Sāriputta, there were a cesspit deeper than a man's height, full of excrement; and then a man were to come along, scorched by the heat, oppressed by the heat, exhausted, parched, and thirsty, heading by a path going in one direction only toward that very cesspit. A man with good sight, on seeing him, would say: 'This worthy man is proceeding in such a way, conducting himself in such a way, and has entered upon such a path that he will come to this very cesspit.' Then, at a later time, he would see him fallen into that cesspit, experiencing feelings that are painful, racking, and sharp. Just so, Sāriputta, having encompassed his mind with my own mind, I understand a certain individual here thus: 'This individual is practicing in such a way, conducting himself in such a way, and has entered upon such a path that, with the breaking up of the body, after death, he will be reborn in the animal realm.' Then, at a later time, with the divine eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, I see him — with the breaking up of the body, after death, reborn in the animal realm, experiencing feelings that are painful, racking, and sharp.
