SN 35.131 Nakula’s Father – Nakulapitusutta

 

At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Bhaggas on Crocodile Hill, in the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood.

Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā bhaggesu viharati susumāragire bhesakaḷāvane migadāye.

Then the householder Nakula’s father went up to the Buddha … and asked him,

Atha kho nakulapitā gahapati yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho nakulapitā gahapati bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings aren’t fully extinguished in the present life?

“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti?

What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in the present life?” …

Ko pana, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti?

(This should be told in full as in SN 35.118.)
