[610] Therein, Ānanda, when an ascetic or brahmin speaks thus: "It seems, sir, that there are good deeds (kamma); there is a result of good conduct" — this I grant him. And when he speaks thus: "I saw that individual here, one refraining from killing living creatures, refraining from taking what is not given … holding right view; and with the breakup of the body, after death, I see him reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world" — this too I grant him. But when he speaks thus: "It seems, sir, that everyone who refrains from killing living creatures, refrains from taking what is not given … holds right view is, with the breakup of the body, after death, reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world" — this I do not grant him. And when he speaks 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, obstinately holding with force and misapprehension to precisely what he has himself known, himself seen, himself understood, he insists: "Only this is true; anything else is futile" — this too I do not grant him. Why is that? Because, Ānanda, the Tathāgata's knowledge of the great analysis of deeds (mahākammavibhaṅga) is otherwise.
