Bhagavai 5:5:117-120 How is that (statement of the heretics)? Gautama! the statement of the heretics that all living beings etc. experience feeling that is corresponding (to the karma bound in the past) is false. O Gautama! I however say thus ...... up to propound thus: there are some living beings etc., who experience feeling that is corresponding to the karma bound in the past). But there others who experience feeling that is not
corresponding (to the karma bound in the past). 5.118 se kenatthenam bhamte! evam vüccai--atthegaiyā pāņā bhūyā jīvā sattā
evambhūyam vedanam vedemti, atthegaiyā pānā bhūyä jīvā sattā aṇevambhūyam vedanam vedemti? goyamā! je nam pāņā bhūyā jīvā sattā jahā kaļā kammā tahā vedanam vedemti, te nam pāņā bhūyā jīvā sattā evambhūyam vedenam vedemti. je nam pāņā bhūyā jīvā sattā jahā kaņā kammā no tahā vedaṇam, vedemti, te nam pāņā bhūyā jīvā sattā anevambhūyam vedanam vedemti. se tenatthenam, goyama! evam vüccai atthegaiyā pāņā bhūya jīvā sattā evambhūyam vedanam vedemti, atthegaiyā pāņā bhūyā jīvā sattā anevambhūvam vedanam vedemti. For what reason it has been said, O Lord! that there are some living beings etc. who experience feeling that is corresponding (to the karma bound in the past) but there are others who experience feeling that is not corresponding (to the karma bound in the past)? Gautama! the living beings etc. who experience their karma exactly as they bound experience feeling that is corresponding (to the karma bound in the past). The living beings etc., who do not experience feeling that is corresponding to the karma that they bound, experience non-corresponding feeling. For this reason Gautama! it is said that there are living beings etc., who experience corresponding feeling and there are living beings etc. who
experience non-corresponding feeling. 5.119 neraiyā nam bhamte! kim evambhūyam vedanam vedemti? anevambhūyam
vedanam vedemti? goyamā! neraiyä nam evambhūyam pi vedanam vedemti, anevambhūyain pi vedanam vedemti. Do the infernals, O Lord! experience corresponding feeling, or non-corresponding feeling? Gautama! the infernals experience corresponding feeling as well as non
-corresponding feeling. 5.120 se kenatthenam bhamte! evam vuccai neraiyā nam evambhūyam pi vedanam
vedemti, anevambhūyam pi vedanam vedemti? goyamä! je nam neraiyā jahā kadā kammā tahā vedanam vedemti, te nam neraiyā anevambhūyam vedanam vedemti. je nam neraiyā jahā kadā kammā no tahā vedanam vedemti, te nam neraiyā anevambhūyam vedanam vedemti, se tenatthenam.
