1 “These four, O bhikkhus, are kammas that are proclaimed by me after having realized them by myself with supreme knowledge. What four?

2 There is, O bhikkhus, dark kamma with dark results. There is, O bhikkhus, bright kamma with bright results. There is, O bhikkhus, dark and bright kamma with dark and bright results. There is, O bhikkhus, neither dark nor bright kamma with neither dark nor bright results that leads to the extinction of kamma.

3 These, O bhikkhus, are the four kammas that are proclaimed by me after having realized them by myself with supreme knowledge.”
