[176] "Bhikkhus, it is impossible, there is no chance, that one possessed of good bodily conduct (kāyasucarita) could, with that as cause, with that as condition, on the breakup of the body, after death, be reborn in a state of loss (apāya), a bad destination, the nether world, hell — this is not possible. But it is indeed possible, bhikkhus, that one possessed of good bodily conduct could, with that as cause, with that as condition, on the breakup of the body, after death, be reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world — this is possible."
