[609] "Therein, Ānanda, as for the ascetic or brahmin who says thus: 'It seems, good sir, there are no bad deeds; there is no result of misconduct' — this I do not grant him. But as for what he says thus: 'I saw such-and-such a person here who destroyed life, who took what was not given … who held wrong view; and I see that, with the breaking up of the body, after death, he has been reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world' — this I grant him. But as for what he says thus: 'It seems, good sir, everyone who destroys life, who takes what is not given … who holds wrong view is, with the breaking up of the body, after death, reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world' — this I do not grant him. And as for what he says thus: 'Those who know thus know rightly; those who know otherwise — their knowledge (ñāṇa) is wrong' — this too I do not grant him. And when, insisting obstinately, by force and by adherence, on just that which he has himself known, himself seen, himself understood, he declares in that regard: 'This alone is true; anything else is vain' — this too I do not grant him. Why is that? Because, Ānanda, the Tathāgata's knowledge in the great analysis of deeds (mahākammavibhaṅga) is otherwise."
