In the Land of the Vajjis

Vajjīsutta

EN
At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Vajjis at Elephant Village. Then the householder Uggata of Elephant Village went up to the Buddha, sat down to one side, and said to him: “What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are not fully extinguished in this very life?
PL
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vajjīsu viharati hatthigāme. Atha kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti?
EN
What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in this very life?” … (Tell in full as in the previous discourse.)
PL
Ko pana, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti? (Yathā purimasuttantaṁ, evaṁ vitthāretabbaṁ.) “Ayaṁ kho, gahapati, hetu ayaṁ paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti. Dutiyaṁ.
