[49] When my mind (citta) was thus concentrated (samādhi) — purified, bright, unblemished, rid of corruptions (upakkilesa), malleable, wieldy, steady, and attained to imperturbability — I directed it to the knowledge (ñāṇa) of the passing away and reappearance of beings. With the divine eye (dibbacakkhu), purified and surpassing the human, I saw beings passing away and reappearing — inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate — and I understood how beings fare on according to their actions (kamma): 'These beings, sirs, who were endowed with misconduct of body, endowed with misconduct of speech, endowed with misconduct of mind, revilers of the noble ones, holders of wrong view, undertaking actions under the influence of wrong view — with the breakup of the body, after death, they have reappeared in a state of deprivation, a bad destination, a place of ruin, even in hell. But these beings, sirs, who were endowed with good conduct of body, endowed with good conduct of speech, endowed with good conduct of mind, not revilers of the noble ones, holders of right view, undertaking actions under the influence of right view — with the breakup of the body, after death, they have reappeared in a good destination, a heavenly world.' Thus with the divine eye, purified and surpassing the human, I saw beings passing away and reappearing — inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate — and I understood how beings fare on according to their actions.
This, brahmin, was the second true knowledge (vijjā) attained by me in the middle watch of the night. Ignorance (avijjā) was dispelled, true knowledge arose; darkness was dispelled, light arose — as happens for one who dwells diligent, ardent (ātāpī), and resolute.
