Thus have I heard: | 如是我闻： |
At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Kosala, staying in the forest of Sineru to the north of the village of Vairambha. | 一时，佛在拘萨罗国人间游行，住鞞罗磨聚落北身恕林中。 |
At that time, the brahmins and elders of the village of Vairambha heard that the World-Honored One was staying in the forest of Sineru to the north of the village of Vairambha. Having heard this, they rode in white horse-drawn carriages, with many attendants, holding golden bowls, parasols, and golden washbasins, and left the village of Vairambha to go to the forest of Sineru. At the entrance of the road, they got off the carriages and walked on foot. They entered the garden gate, went before the World-Honored One, exchanged greetings and pleasantries, and then sat to one side. They said to the Buddha, "Gautama! What are the causes and conditions for a person to die and be reborn in hell, up to being reborn in heaven?" The sutra explains in detail as above. | 时，鞞罗磨聚落中，婆罗门长者闻世尊住鞞罗磨聚落身恕林中，闻已，乘白马车，多将翼从，持金斗、伞盖、金澡瓶，出鞞罗磨聚落，诣身恕林。至道口，下车步进，入于园门，至世尊前，面相问讯慰劳已，退坐一面，白佛言：「瞿昙！何因、何缘有人命终生地狱中，乃至生天？……」如上修多罗广说。 |
At that time, the brahmin of Vairambha, having heard the Buddha's teaching, joyfully accepted it and rose from his seat to depart. | 时，鞞罗磨婆罗门闻佛所说，欢喜随喜，从坐起而去。 |
