_Q. 49. Bhante ! Are the infernal beings eternal ? Are they non-eternal ?
उत्तर ४९-एवं जहा जीवा तहा णेरइया वि। एवं जाव...वेमाणिया आव...सिय सासया सिय असासया।
A. 49. The infernal beings are like any other living being (in this respect), and like this, till the Vaimānikas, eternal in a sense, non-eternal in another sense.
सेवं भंते ! सेवं भंते ! ति।
-Bhante !
Right you are. It is truly so.
