[1798] "Just so, bhikkhus, few are those beings who, passing away from the animal realm (tiracchānayoni), are reborn among human beings; rather, far more numerous are those beings who, passing away from the animal realm, are reborn in hell (niraya). ... are reborn in the animal realm. ... are reborn in the domain of ghosts (pittivisaya)."
