"Idha, bhikkhu, ekacco kāyena sucaritaṃ carati, vācāya sucaritaṃ carati, manasā sucaritaṃ carati. Tassa sutaṃ hoti:  ‘valāhakakāyikā devā dīghāyukā vaṇṇavanto sukhabahulā’ti. Tassa evaṃ hoti:  ‘aho vatāhaṃ kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā valāhakakāyikānaṃ devānaṃ sahabyataṃ upapajjeyyan’ti. So kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā valāhakakāyikānaṃ devānaṃ sahabyataṃ upapajjati.
