And on that occasion Ven. Sṅriputta was staying near Sṅvatthī in the Eastern Monastery, the palace of Migṅraâs mother. There he addressed the monks, "Friend monks!" "Yes, friend," the monks responded to him. Ven. Sṅriputta said, "Friends, I will teach you the person fettered outside & the person fettered inside. Listen to that & pay careful attention. I will speak." "As you say, friend," the monks responded to him. Ven. Sṅriputta said, "And which, friends, is the person fettered inside? There is the case where a monk is virtuous. He dwells restrained in accordance with the Pṅṭimokkha, consummate in his behavior & sphere of activity. He trains himself, having undertaken the training rules, seeing danger in the slightest faults. He—with the breakup of the body, after death—reappears in a certain deva-host. Falling from there, he is a returner, one who returns to this state of being.1 This is called a person fettered inside, a returner, one who returns to this state of being. "And which is the person fettered outside? There is the case where a monk is virtuous. He dwells restrained in accordance with the Pṅṭimokkha, consummate in his behavior & sphere of activity. He trains himself, having undertaken the training rules, seeing danger in the slightest faults. He enters & remains in a certain peaceful awareness release.2 He—with the breakup of the body, after death—reappears in a certain deva-host. Falling from there, he is a non-returner, one who doesnât return to this state of being.3 This is called a person fettered outside, a non-returner, one who doesnât return to this state of being. "Then again, a monk is virtuous. He dwells restrained in accordance with the Pṅṭimokkha, consummate in his behavior & sphere of activity. He trains himself, having undertaken the training rules, seeing danger in the slightest faults. He is one who practices for disenchantment, for dispassion, for & the cessation of sensuality. He is one who practices for disenchantment, for dispassion, for & the cessation of becoming. He is one who practices for the ending of craving. He is one who practices for the ending of greed. He—with the breakup of the body, after death—reappears in a certain deva-host. Falling from there, he is a non-returner, one who doesnât return to this state of being. This is called a person fettered outside, a non-returner, one who doesnât return to this state of being." Then many Like-minded Devas went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, stood to one side. As they were standing there, they said to him, "Lord, Ven. Sṅriputta, in the Eastern Monastery, the palace of Migṅraâs mother, is teaching the monks about the person fettered inside & the person fettered outside. The assembly is overjoyed. It would be good, lord, if the Blessed One went to Ven. Sṅriputta, out of sympathy."4 The Blessed One acquiesced with silence. Then—just as a strong man might extend his flexed arm or flex his extended arm—the Blessed One disappeared from Jetaâs Grove and re-appeared in the Eastern Monastery, the palace of Migṅraâs mother, right in front of Ven. Sṅriputta. He sat down on a seat laid out. Ven. Sṅriputta, bowing down to the Blessed One, sat to one side. As he was sitting there, the Blessed One said to him, "Just now, Sṅriputta, many Like-minded Devas went to me and, on arrival, having bowed down to me, stood to one side. As they were standing there, they said to me, ), # Right single quote ('â', Lord, Ven. Sṅriputta, in the Eastern Monastery, the palace of Migṅraâs mother, is teaching the monks about the person fettered inside & the person fettered outside. The assembly is overjoyed. It would be good, lord, if the Blessed One went to Ven. Sṅriputta, out of sympathy.â "Those devas, Sṅriputta— whether there are ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty—can stand on an area the size of a hole pierced by the point of an awl5 and not disturb one another. And if the thought should occur to you, ), # Right single quote ('â', Surely it was there [in their heaven] that those devas developed such a mind-state that—whether there are ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty—they can stand on an area the size of a hole pierced by the point of an awl and not disturb one another,â it shouldnât be seen that way. It was right here6 that they developed such a mind-state that—whether there are ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty—they can stand on an area the size of a hole pierced by the point of an awl and not disturb one another. "Therefore
