[1488] [P.] Should it not be said, "Sound is a result (vipāka)"?
[S.] Yes.
[P.] But was it not said by the Blessed One: "Because that deed (kamma) was done, accumulated, amassed, and abundant, he has the voice of Brahmā and speaks like the karavīka bird" — does such a discourse (suttanta) indeed exist?
[S.] Yes.
[P.] Then indeed sound is a result.
The Discussion "Sound Is a Result" (Saddo vipāko ti kathā) [is concluded].
