[119] Therein, householders, a wise person (viññū puriso) reflects thus: "If indeed there is causality (hetu), then this worthy individual, with the breaking up of the body, after death, will be reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world. But even granting that there be no causality — let the word of those honorable ascetics and brahmins be true — still this worthy individual is, in this very life, praised by the wise thus: 'a virtuous individual, one of right view, an affirmer of causality (hetuvāda).'" And if indeed there is causality, then for this worthy individual there is the winning throw (kaṭaggāha) on both counts: both in that, in this very life, he is praised by the wise, and in that, with the breaking up of the body, after death, he will be reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world. Thus this incontrovertible (apaṇṇaka) teaching, well undertaken and well adopted by him, stands covering both sides, and it leaves aside the unskillful position.
