CARAMA. 1 (630a) * If a monk who has cultivated his spiritual faculties (bhāviy'appā aṇagāra) dies and merits more than (võikkanta, lit. surpasses) a certain ('carama') heaven (dev'āvāsa) but does not merit (lit. reach, asampatta) the next one, he is reborn in the lateral intermediate [heaven] (pariyassao probably a printing error for "passao) the lessā of which corresponds with his own.
