[1512] Paravādin: Is it not to be said that the person bound to a seventh existence at most (sattamabhavika) has abandoned the bad destination (duggati)? Sakavādin: Yes (āmantā). Sakavādin: Could the person bound to a seventh existence at most be reborn in hell (niraya), be reborn in the animal kingdom (tiracchānayoni), be reborn in the realm of hungry ghosts (pittivisaya)? Paravādin: It should not be said thus. … Sakavādin: In that case, the person bound to a seventh existence at most has indeed abandoned the bad destination. The Discussion of the Person Bound to a Seventh Existence at Most (Sattamabhavikakathā) is concluded. The Twelfth Chapter (dvādasamo vaggo) is concluded. Its summary (uddāna): Restraint (saṃvara) is action (kamma), and likewise non-restraint (asaṃvara); all action is with result (savipāka); sound (sadda) is a result (vipāka); the six sense bases (saḷāyatana) are a result; the seven-times-at-most person (sattakkhattuparama) is fixed in the seven-times-at-most state (sattakkhattuparamatāniyata); the clan-to-clan person (kolaṃkola) is fixed in the clan-to-clan state; the one-seeder person (ekabījī) is fixed in the one-seeder state; the person accomplished in view (diṭṭhisampanna) might intentionally deprive a living being of life; the person accomplished in view has abandoned the bad destination; and likewise the person bound to a seventh existence at most. ________________________ The Discussion of One Who Remains for the Aeon (Kappaṭṭhakathā)
