Then the nun Upac\u0101l\u0101 robed up in the morning \u2026 and sat at the root of a tree for the day\u2019s meditation. Then M\u0101ra the Wicked went up to Upac\u0101l\u0101 and said to her, \u201cNun, where do you want to be reborn?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t want to be reborn anywhere, sir.\u201d \u201cThere are the gods of the thirty-three, <j>and those of Yama; also the Joyful Deities, the gods who love to create, and the gods who control what is created by others. Set your heart on such places, and you\u2019ll undergo delight.\u201d \u201cThe gods of the thirty-three, <j>and those of Yama; also the Joyful Deities, the gods who love to create, and the gods who control what is created by others\u2014 they\u2019re bound with the bonds of sensuality; they fall under your sway again. All the world is on fire, all the world is smoldering, all the world is ablaze, all the world is rocking. My mind adores that place where M\u0101ra cannot go; it\u2019s not shaking or burning, and not frequented by ordinary people.\u201d Then M\u0101ra the Wicked, thinking, \u201cThe nun Upac\u0101l\u0101 knows me!\u201d miserable and sad, vanished right there.","title":"With Upac\u0101l\u0101","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":192}
