[90] Then another deity (devatā) spoke these verses in the presence of the Blessed One:
"Those giving what is hard to give,
doing the deed that is hard to do —
the bad do not emulate them;
the Dhamma of the good is hard to follow.
[Apparatus in source: 1. Yu: tadevadādato. 2. Sī, Ma, Yu: panthānaṃva. 3. Sī: samappitāti.]
Therefore for the good and for the bad
the destination on departing hence differs:
the bad go to hell (niraya);
the good are bound for heaven (sagga)."
Then another deity said this to the Blessed One: "Blessed One, whose [words] were well spoken?"
