Q. 156. Bhante ! Heretics say ... till establish that all the prānas, bhūtas, jīvas and sattas suffer from unalloyed misery. Bhante ! How is it so ?
A. 156. Gautama ! This, as said by the heretics, ... till is incorrect. As for me, oh Gautama! I say, ... till establish that some of the prānas, bhūtas, jīvas and sattas suffer from unalloyed misery, and rarely ever enjcy happiness. Some other prānas, bhūtas, jīvas and sattas have unalloyed happiness, and rarely any misery. There are other präņas, bhūtas, jīvas and sattas who suffer in diverse proportions-an admixture of happiness and misery.
A. 157.
How so ?
___A. 157. Gautama ! The infernal beings suffer unalloyed misery and rarely any happiness. The Bhavanapatis, Vāņavyantaras, Jyotişkas and Vaimānikas have unalloyed happiness and rarely any misery. From earth-bodies...till human beings, they suffer in diverse proportions—an admixture of happiness and misery.
